Patients First, Paragon’s commitment to clinical excellence begins at the corporate level. We do not separate our clinical objectives from operational needs; thus, all operational matters are addressed by our VP of Clinical Operations and Regional Directors with priority in all decisions given to quality patient care.
Clinical excellence is patient treatment that:
- Is of the Highest Quality
- Surpasses Expectations
- Is Performed at an Exceptional Level
Clinical excellence means our patients can have lives that:
- Are of the Highest Quality Possible
- Surpass Their and Others’ Expectations
- Are Performed at an Exceptional Functional Level, Given Their Diseases and Disabilities
Patients First is a clinical perspective that guides each of our practices. This foundation assures that each practice is patient / resident focused, and continuously trying to improve its clinical performance. All clinicians know what clinical excellence for patients is.
- We practice clinical excellence when we evaluate the entire patient and not just one functional area
- We practice clinical excellence when we provide them with the intensity of treatment that helps them achieve their functional goals.
- We practice clinical excellence when we share our assessment of their progress with them.
- We practice clinical excellence when we show them we understand how important the place they call home is by helping make sure it is as accessible as possible.
- We practice clinical excellence when we strive to maintain the highest standards, look after the smallest detail, and do our best in every way for them.
