Lincoln Daily News 2024 Health & Wellness Magazine Pg.17 LMH received its initial Pathway designation in 2019 with the redesignation in 2023. The Pathway to Excellence designation is granted based on the confirmed presence of the six Pathway to Excellence practice standards, including: • Shared decision-making • Leadership • Safety • Quality • Well-being • Professional development “I am very proud of the LMH nursing team for earning this prestigious redesignation,” said Dolan Dalpoas, chief executive officer at Lincoln Memorial Hospital. “The application process is exceptionally rigorous and the nursing team rose to the challenge. We also recognize other LMH colleagues for the support they provided our nursing team as they pursued this goal. Achieving Pathway redesignation demonstrates our commitment to sustained nursing excellence to improve the health of the Lincoln community.” About the Pathway to Excellence Designation For an organization to earn the Pathway to Excellence distinction, it must successfully undergo a thorough review process that documents quality initiatives in creating a positive work environment — as defined by nurses and supported by research. These initiatives must be integrated in the facility’s practices, policies and culture. Nurses in the organization validate the presence of the criteria in the organization through a completely voluntary and confidential online survey. As a Pathway to Excellence designated organization, LMH is committed to creating an environment where nurses excel and feel valued as integral members of interprofessional nursing teams. This designation confirms to the public that nurses working at LMH know their efforts are supported. The honor encourages other nurses to join their colleagues in this desirable and nurturing environment. Lincoln Memorial Hospital is a 25-bed hospital located at 200 Stahlhut Drive and is an affiliate of Memorial Health. For more information about LMH, visit memorial. health.
