The Day Kimball Family of Services

The Day Kimball family of quality healthcare services consists of Day Kimball Hospital, as well as the following complementary organizations:

Day Kimball HomeCare - specialized services provided in the home by healthcare professionals, allowing the patient the comfort of familiar surroundings.

Day Kimball HomeMakers - exceptional non-medical homemaker, chore, companion, personal care assistance and respite services often enable elderly or disabled clients to live safely in the familiar and comfortable surroundings of their own homes.

Hospice and Palliative Care of Northeastern Connecticut - Hospice provides special care for terminally ill patients, with a life expectancy of six months or less, and their loved ones. Rather than to try to cure a patient’s disease, hospice provides palliative care, focusing on providing pain relief and symptom control.

Quality and Patient Safety: The Foundation of Day Kimball

Day Kimball believes that quality and patient safety are the foundation of health care. Everything else - the advanced medical technology, the new procedures, the human elements of caring and empathy - all rest upon the bedrock of quality and patient safety. This commitment is practiced throughout the hospital, and each employee has an important role to play and makes a valuable contribution daily. Just a few examples of Day Kimball's accomplishments include

Implementation of Evidence-based Pathways - for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). In the ER, patients with CAP are assessed and treated according to nationally developed "pathways" which Day Kimball Hospital physicians had a key role in developing.

Mediworx Medication Ordering System - a significant investment in patient safety, this state-of-the-art program adds an additional layer of checks to the increasingly complex system of ordering and dispensing medications to patients in the hospital.

Expanded Behavioral Health Services - for children at the Day Kimball Pediatric Center. This is in addition to improving the availability of services by adding evening appointments and open access scheduling.

Continuity of Care for Patients with Congestive Heart Disease (CHD) - Day Kimball has developed an innovative preventative and educational hospital and home care program to help patients better manage their disease while reducing readmissions to the hospital.

These are just a few of the many ways Day Kimball Hospital focuses on our patients' needs and enhance quality and patient safety.
