Baylor Health Care System: Achieving Best Care

	Baylor Health Care System (BHCS) embraces evidence-based standards of excellence defined by federal governmental and national quality organizations and by the conceptual framework of the U.S. National Academies Institute of Medicine’s 2001 report Crossing the Quality Chasm, which calls for health care delivery that is safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient centered (STEEEP™).
	BHCS's vision of “best care” is a promise to deliver the highest quality and safest care available, focusing on wellness, prevention, early detection, acute, and subacute care, and is supported at every point by education, research, and improvement.
