MEDITECH congratulates the 100 customers recognized with the 2023 Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award™. These hospitals are among the top 10% in the nation for patient safety, with the lowest occurrences of 14 preventable patient safety events.
"Healthgrades makes it easy for consumers to choose a doctor based on the three factors that matter most: compatibility, relevant experience, and the quality of the hospital where you'll be treated,” said Healthgrades EVP Burt Kann. “With these awards, we are helping consumers identify the highest quality care in their community by celebrating the hospitals that consistently deliver better-than-expected clinical outcomes.”
But that’s not where the accolades stop. Nearly half of the 100 MEDITECH customers who earned the Patient Safety Excellence Award, also received other Healthgrades Awards this year.
Over 30 customers received America's Best Hospitals Award™, for being among the top 5% of hospitals in the country for clinical excellence. These hospitals exhibit superior performance in providing care for conditions and procedures across multiple specialty lines. While many hospitals have specific areas of expertise and high-quality outcomes in certain areas, these hospitals exhibit comprehensive high-quality care across clinical areas.
Additionally, one-quarter of our Patient Safety Award customers were also recognized by Healthgrades with the Outstanding Patient Experience Award™. These recipients are among the top 15% of hospitals nationwide that achieved top ratings on 10 publicly reported patient experience measures. Outstanding Patient Experience Award winners understand that good, clear communication at all levels remains core to a good patient experience.
Finally, Menorah Medical Center (Overland Park, KS) received all three Healthgrades awards, a testament to their dedication to providing the best care possible.
