Union Memorial Earns 2008 100 Top Hospital Award |
Date : - 31/03/2009 |
BALTIMORE, MD – March 30, 2009 – Union Memorial Hospital has been uniquely identified as Maryland’s only hospital to be named a 2008 Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals: National Benchmarks award recipient today. It’s the second time Union Memorial has been recognized for this over-all hospital achievement. Thomson Reuter has previously ranked Union Memorial one of the nation’s top cardiovascular hospitals five times. Thomson Reuters is a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the cost and quality of healthcare, and annually recognizes hospitals that have achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient satisfaction, financial performance and operational efficiency. “Being recognized for surpassing national benchmarks is an achievement that every one of us at Union Memorial can be proud of,” said Hospital President, Harrison J. Rider III. “We are constantly challenging ourselves, in each department, to find new ways to improve every aspect of what we do, and the recognition means we’re being effective in our efforts. It is truly a capstone to the hard work and dedication of all our associates and physicians.” Winners of the National Benchmarks study were identified through an in-depth analysis, evaluating 3000 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 100 Top Hospitals winners raised the bar again this year, delivering a higher level of reliable care and greater value for the communities,” said Jean Chenoweth, Senior Vice President for Performance Improvement and the 100 Top Hospital programs.
