We are large but we work together like a family to give the best care to our patients.  Quality is not just a "buzzword" at MHS.  We practice what we preach.  Our Standards are high, our commitment is unsurpassed and we are dedicated to learning and continuous improvement.  We have a tradition of reaching out to new team members.

When a new member comes to the system we provide a comprehensive orientation program.  This orientation is focused by using a system to learn which skills  the member brings with him or her to the job.  By personalizing the orientation, skills that need focus are emphasized.  

Each new nurse is teamed with a preceptor to help make their new employment experience smoother.  Competency skills checklists are completed in your own timetable to assure that you have all the skills you need to do your job. The STEPP program is started at the time of employment and continues until you have completed all the steps.

Our day to day work is enhanced by our Computer system.  The system has been personalized to fit our needs at MHS.  Documentation is done online and is Multidisciplinary.  Our  Patient Centered Documentation^© has a single standard of care for all our facilities, with specific standards of practice for each patient care area.  Our system has been designed to reduce documentation time and to eliminate "double documentation".  This is done by a unique charting system that focuses on the patient's actual problems. Documentation of routine care is minimized. 

The MHS system wide Education Department provides courses to enhance your learning.  In addition there is an extensive Video Tape Library available.  Continuing Education Unit Courses (required for License renewal) are also offered.  Everyone has access to see all items available for education through the computer system.
