A Letter from
David Deutsch, M.D.
Chair of the Pediatrics Department
At The Children’s
MedicalCenter at Rockford Health
System, we are proud to offer this
community’s most comprehensive array of
health care services for children, age
infant to 18 years.We strive to live our mission
each day; “Superior
care, every day for all our patients.”We are also committed to
providing Respectful Care to each and
every patient who comes to our door.
But, how do parents
judge health care quality for their
children?What indicators would help you
better understand the level of quality
being provided by any hospital or
outpatient provider?We know it can sometimes be
difficult to understand quality and
patient safety issues in health care.That’s why we want to share with
you some of the outpatient and inpatient
measures that we watch carefully and
benchmark with other pediatric providers
across the country.We also share our patient
satisfaction scores and comments from
the parents of our patients.
We think you need to
have good information to make wise
decisions about your child’s care.If you are interested in learning

Center, call the Rockford Health System
