March SPS Hospital Of The Month 2025
Congratulations to Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital for being named the SPS Hospital of the Month for March!
Read what Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital had to say about the recognition:
“Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital is more than a place of healing. It’s a place of hope, compassion and relentless dedication to safety. Every team member shows up each day committed to protecting our patients and each other. We’re proud to be part of the Solutions for Patient Safety network, collaborating with more than 140 children’s hospitals to share data and best practices. Together, we’re proving that zero serious harm isn’t just possible — it’s within reach.”
On why this recognition is important:
“Being recognized as Hospital of the Month is a reflection of our entire team’s unwavering commitment to patient and team member safety. It validates the hard work happening every day to create a culture of zero serious harm, where every child who walks through our doors receives the safest, highest-quality care possible. This honor isn’t just about recognition; it’s about knowing we’re making a lasting impact on our patients’ lives.”
On how working toward zero harm has positively impacted their patient experience:
“Our journey to zero serious harm is transforming the patient experience in powerful ways. Families trust us with their most precious loved ones, and that trust is earned through safe, compassionate care. By focusing on error prevention and resilience, clear communication and a questioning mindset, we’ve created an environment where safety is a core value. That peace of mind is felt by every child, parent, and team member.”
On how they stay motivated:
With over 900 team members working toward this collective mission, their team lifts each other up by recognizing that patient and team member safety is a shared journey.
“We celebrate successes, learn from care variation and embrace open communication because safety improves when everyone feels empowered to speak up. Whether it’s a ‘Good Catch’ award for identifying a potential error or a heartfelt thank you after a tough day, the encouragement never stops. “
On how patients inspire them:
“Every child’s courage reminds us why we’re here. Seeing their strength, resilience and joy, even in the face of difficult treatments or long hospital stays, drives us to work harder, think smarter and never stop improving. Their stories push us to ensure safety is more than a goal. It’s a promise we keep for them and their families.”
