Bryce Clark Honored as
‘Colorado Health Care Star’
In early 2019 at a weekly leadership team meeting for Level 8
on the Anschutz Medical Campus, Bryce Clark, MPA, BSN,
RN, CPHQ, was surprised to see his former team from the
Quality and Patient Safety (QPS) division enter the room.
This is weird, he thought.
Then, Chief Medical and Patient Safety Officer Dan Hyman,
MD, started reading an award nomination, and Clark was
even more surprised.
Dr. Hyman, flanked by the QPS team, presented Clark
with the Colorado Hospital Association's Health Care
Star Award, given to healthcare employees across the
state who have exceeded their roles and made a true
impact in their workplace and communities. The award
winners are passionate, caring professionals who set an
example for others.
For Clark, who recently joined the Level 8 leadership team
as a clinical manager, the award was a celebration of four
years of dedication as an improvement lead within Quality
and Patient Safety. He received the award, in part, because
of his leadership on numerous safety initiatives including:
• A hand hygiene reboot with revamped training for auditors
• Regular data submission and feedback that resulted
in organizational HH adherence exceeding 93%
consistently for the past several years
• CLABSI reduction efforts across the organization and
demonstrated process reliability rates above 90% for
the past two years, with a dramatic reduction of rates
through 2017
Clark said the award was a great surprise and he felt honored
to have both his old and new teams there to support him.
