About Us

Vail Valley Medical Center
Our hospital is a private not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing quality health care for 50,000 residents in 6 counties. Since its founding in 1962, this hospital has grown with local energy and determination. The original facility provided accommodations for 4 patients, and a few ancillary services. In 1978 a long awaited dream was realized with the construction of a new section of the hospital.

Today, the hospital provides comprehensive medical care with over 190 physicians, 58 acute beds, and professional and support staff of over 700. Sponsored by patient revenue and philanthropy, this hospital is one of the most important assets of this community. It continues, as it was established, with a tradition of excellence and a rich heritage of care and concern.

Culture
  • Vail Health has formally adopted “Just Culture” principles for achieving a culture in which frontline personnel feel comfortable disclosing errors - including their own - while maintaining professional accountability.
  • Traditionally, health care’s culture has held individuals accountable for all errors or mishaps that befall patients under their care. By contrast, a Just Culture recognizes that individual practitioners should not be held accountable for system failings over which they have no control. A Just Culture also recognizes many individual errors represent predictable interactions between human operators and the systems in which they work. However, in contrast to a culture that touts “no blame” as its governing principle, a Just Culture does not tolerate conscious disregard of clear risks to patients or gross misconduct (e.g. falsifying a record, performing professional duties while intoxicated).
  • A Just Culture recognizes that competent professionals make mistakes and acknowledges that even competent professionals will develop unhealthy norms (shortcuts, “routine rule violations”), but has zero tolerance for reckless behavior.
  • Vail Health informally practiced Just Culture for a number of years and has taken the extra step of implementing a formal approach for investigation and follow-up of situations that could have caused harm (regardless of the actual outcome).

    At Vail Health:
    • Adverse events/near misses are reported without fear
    • Reported events are investigated following Just Culture principles and methodology
    • Systems issues are identified and corrected
    • Staff are held accountable, based on their behavioral choices and their ability to do the right thing (not outcome biased)
    • Through the adoption of this approach, Vail Health is a safer place for patients and employees alike.
