Winchester Hospital Recognized for High-Quality Patient Care
The Award for Quality recognizes leading healthcare organizations that efficiently provide outstanding patient care and consistently set the standard in clinical excellence nationwide. Premier recognizes top performing hospitals through analysis of performance-based criteria including clinical quality outcomes, resource utilization and clinical process indicators.
“Winchester Hospital prides itself on the quality of care we provide to our patients and our continuous efforts to improve our care delivery systems,” Dr. Iseke said. “This award recognizes the exemplary care that our staff delivers to each and every patient we treat.”
“The Award for Quality honors the efforts of our nation’s leading hospitals to provide superior quality and operational efficiency,” said Susan DeVore, Premier’s incoming president and CEO. “We’re thrilled to celebrate the efforts of these facilities as they improve the health of the communities they serve.”
Scoring is based on data from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MEDPAR). Quality is measured by the incidence of three adverse outcomes: mortality, morbidity and complications.
