"Utilizing the Baldrige principles has been instrumental in assisting Feather River Hospital to improve its processes and even more importantly our results. Participating in the CAPE awards program which uses these principles not only as an applicant but also by sponsoring hospital staff to be examiners, has helped us identify and address process and result issues and to identify innovative ideas that ultimately help us serve our patients better."
