cilh About Your
Hospital
Clinton Public Hospital has received the good news that
the organization has been approved for a three year
accreditation award. This is the maximum award that can
be achieved. The written report contains the accreditor's
opinions of areas where the organization excels as well as
suggestions for areas of improvement. Excerpts from the
written report are published below for your information.
CLINTON PUBLIC HOSPITAL
ACCREDITATION SURVEY REPORT
The board, management and staff at Clinton Public Hospital (CPH)
are commended for successfully addressing all the recommendations
contained in the previous accreditation report. This organization has
been through a lot of changes since the last survey and the leadership
has handled this well.
The clients of this organization provided very positive feedback. All
appreciated the special attention of the staff and ability of the hospital
to remain open to meet the emergency needs of the surrounding
community.
The staff are client focused and committed to involving
consumers/clients in the process. The medical staff also actively
participate, despite their limited number.
Issues requiring priority attention include the need for a formal
process to identify the educational priorities of the staff, the need to
develop performance indicators that focus on outcomes, the need for
a formal human resources structure and the need for a comprehensive
information management plan. In addition, in the care areas,
discharge planning needs to be more individualized.
It is clear that the community strongly supports this hospital, the
governing body is knowledgeable about its role, its members have
adopted a unified approach to move in the direction of the hospital's
strategic plan and future merger and alliance associations.
The recommendations and suggestions contained herein will assist
the organization to further improve its care and service in support of
the accreditation standards.

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1998. PAGE 3.
Winter quickly came to an end
following the winter Blyth
Scouting activities during February.
1st Blyth Beavers attended Huron
District 'Beaver Brrr' Feb. 28 for a
day of crafts, games, and
fellowship with Beavers from all
over Huron District.
On March 7 the third year
Beavers attended the 'White Tail
Event' in Baden, North Waterloo.
During March break they visited
Scrimgeour's. For Easter they
enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt.
Cubs have benefitted from the
'star' expertise of John Battye.
When conditions are right they
hope to enjoy another evening of
astronomy. They have also learned
about law awareness from Mike
Scott.
Scouts are making good use of
the Wawanosh Nature Centre.
After the winter camp in February
they participated in an 'Owl Prowl',
and plan to plant a couple of trees
at the centre in April.
On March 7 they tried out their
climbing skills at the Waterloo
Climbing Gym.
During the Knechtel Anniversary
Celebration at Scrimgeour's,
several Scouts offered their
services bagging groceries.
April 17 - 19 they practiced their
cycling skills on a 65 km. bike
hike, stopping along the way to try
their hand at trout fishing.
As part of the Citizenship Badge
requirements first year Scouts are
planning to attend a local council
meeting.
Venturer Advisors Arden and
Mike Scott were invested Feb. 9 at
an outdoor evening candle
ceremony. They in turn invested
the nine Blyth Venturers.
The Venturer program this year
has been interesting and varied. For
one meeting, parents and youth
were given a tour of the Bluewater
Youth Centre at Goderich.
In March the Venturers travelled
to Arthur to learn about and
participate in simulated defense
tactics. They have also enjoyed a
game of floor hockey with 4th
Goderich Venturers.
April 6 they prepared and served
a chili supper at the arena.
Scouting emphasizes
conservation and concern for the
environment. All sections will be
participating in spring cleanup
around the community, raking
grounds, and picking up litter.
In May there will be a door-to-
door pickup of returnable bottles in
Auburn, Blyth and Londesboro.
Huron District recognizes and
presents service pins for long
service to Scouting. This year Don
