Providence Regional Medical Center Everett Named One of the Nation's 100 Top Hospitals by Thomson Re |
Date : - 06/04/2009 |
Everett, WA - - Providence Regional Medical Center Everett was today named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals® by Thomson Reuters, a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the cost and quality of healthcare.
The award recognizes hospitals that have achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient satisfaction, financial performance, and operational efficiency. This is the fifth year that Providence Regional Medical Center Everett has been recognized with this honor, and it is the only hospital in Washington state to be named to this prestigious list for 2008.
“The study analyzed data from 3,000 hospitals and being named in the top 100 puts us in the top three percent of hospitals nationwide. This announcement is on the heels of being named in February as a Distinguished Hospital by the Healthgrades organization, another leading healthcare rating company,” says Dave Brooks, CEO, Providence Regional. “These national awards put Providence Regional into a very elite group of hospitals recognized for their outstanding high quality care and best clinical outcomes. This is good news for the patients who choose Providence Regional for their care. These awards are also a tribute to our staff whose clinical expertise is at the very core of being named among the best hospitals in the nation.”
The winners were identified through an in-depth analysis, the Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals®: National Benchmarks study. The study evaluated 3,000 short-term, acute care, non-federal hospitals in nine areas: mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average length of stay, expenses, profitability, cash-to-debt ratio, patient satisfaction, and adherence to clinical standards of care.
The winning hospitals were announced in the March 30 edition of Modern Healthcare magazine
“The 100 Top Hospitals winners raised the bar again this year, delivering a higher level of reliable care and greater value for their communities,” said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and 100 Top Hospitals programs at Thomson Reuters.
If all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as Medicare patients treated in the winning hospitals
* More than 107,500 additional patients would survive
each year
* Nearly 132,000 patient complications would be
avoided annually
* Expenses would decline by $5.9 billion a year
* The average patient stay would decrease by nearly
half a day |
