One of 34 Hospitals Nationwide to Receive
Top Ranking
Mission
Hospital has been recognized as one of the top in the nation by U.S. News
& World Report in its 2015-16 edition of Best Hospitals for its quality
of care in the most common surgeries and medical treatments. The magazine
ranked Mission Hospital as high performing in ten adult specialty areas
including all five areas of common care that include heart bypass surgery, hip
replacement, knee replacement, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary
diseases.
The
national magazine known for its annual Best Hospitals ratings has been ranking
hospitals annually for 25 years and this year created the new "common
care" rankings to consider the kinds of diseases and conditions that most
commonly lead to hospitalizations. Mission Hospital was one of only 34
hospitals ranked as high performing in all five types of common care treatment.
“We are
pleased and proud to receive this recognition for the quality of care we
provide,” said Jill
Hoggard Green, PhD, RN, COO of Mission Health and President
of Mission Hospital and Mission Medical Associates.
“These rankings reflect the hard work and commitment of our dedicated
caregivers to our western North Carolina community.”
To generate the rankings, U.S. News
evaluated hospitals across more than 25 quality measures – including mortality,
readmissions, infections and patient satisfaction scores – and analyzed more
than 5 million patient records, taking into account each patient’s health
conditions, age, sex, socioeconomic status and other factors affecting
risk.
