FLORENCE, SC – McLeod physicians, staff and teams have received 24 top honors for 2016 from Healthgrades®, the nation’s leading healthcare rating organization. These distinctions, driven by the analysis of data, are based on quality outcomes and superior performance.
For its 2016 study, Heathgrades 2016 Report to the Nation, Healthgrades evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 33 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions and identified the 50 best hospitals and the 100 best hospitals within each procedure. “The Healthgrades 2016 Report to the Nation reveals striking disparities in quality at the local level, and underscores why it is vital for consumers to understand outcomes performance at alternative hospitals for specific conditions and procedures,” said Evan Marks, Chief Strategy Officer for Healthgrades. “Hospitals with superior outcomes for certain aspects of care may not perform as well in other areas. Moreover, a major metropolitan area may have many hospitals, but only a few may provide better-than-expected outcomes for the specific care a patient needs. Those hospitals that have achieved the Healthgrades distinction have demonstrated a commitment to exceptional quality care.”
McLeod was recognized as one of Healthgrades 2016:
America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care™
America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention™
America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Vascular Surgery™
America’s 100 Best Hospitals for General Surgery™
“This recognition is evidence of the dedication and hard work performed daily by our physicians and staff in creating a culture of safety and quality,” said Rob Colones, President of McLeod Health. “We are honored that our efforts have resulted in McLeod receiving these distinctions, but more importantly, we want to continue to pursue excellence in quality care for the benefit of our patients.”
In addition, McLeod was honored as a recipient of:
Healthgrades 2016 Cardiac Care Excellence Award™ and the Healthgrades 2016 Coronary Intervention Excellence Award™. McLeod has been named among the Top 5% in the Nation in Coronary Interventional Procedures, Top 5% in the Nation in Cardiology Services and Top 10% in the Nation for Overall Cardiac Services.
