Providence Medical Center, a member of Prime Healthcare, announced in a special ceremony with local dignitaries that it has received the Healthgrades 2018 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence\u2122. The distinction recognizes Providence as one of the top five percent of nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for its clinical performance as measured by\u00a0Healthgrades<\/a>, the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals.<\/p>\n

Karen Orr, RN, MSN, MBA, CMSRN, Administrator of Providence Medical Center,\u00a0credits the staff and physicians. \u201cWe are so proud that our hospital is only\u00a0one<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0three<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0in the entire metropolitan Kansas City area to receive this distinctive honor,\u201d she said<\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition highlights the high quality of care our patients receive every day here at Providence\u2014expert care, close to home.\u201d<\/p>\n

From 2014-2016, patients treated in hospitals receiving Healthgrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence had, on average, a 26.3% lower risk of dying (across 19 procedures and conditions where mortality is the clinical outcome) than if they were treated in hospitals that did not achieve this distinction<\/p>\n

For example, patients treated for respiratory failure at a hospital that achieved the Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence Award had, on average, a 24.5% lower risk of dying than if treated at a hospital that did not achieve this distinction.*<\/p>\n

Orr credits many notable awards Providence has received this past year from Healthgrades and other national organizations to consistent dedication towards patients in achieve<\/s>ing the highest standards of patient safety and quality. \u201cFrom an accredited Chest Pain Center, experienced staff and committed physicians, to modern technology, like recently added 3D mammography, we will remain focused on providing the best care possible for patients in this region,\u201d Orr said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the variation in clinical quality that exists between hospitals, it is more important than ever for consumers to do their research and use information like this to assess their care decisions,\u201d said Brad Bowman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Healthgrades. \u201cThose hospitals that have received Healthgrades 2018 Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence award have proven their steadfast commitment to providing quality care to patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

This past fall Providence was recognized by Healthgrades as one of\u00a0America\u2019s 100 Best Hospitals<\/strong>\u2122 for\u00a0Orthopedic Surgery<\/strong>,\u00a0Gastrointestinal Care<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0General Surgery<\/strong>\u00a0(2 years in a row).<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Providence was recognized with Excellence Awards for\u00a0Orthopedic Surgery<\/strong>;\u00a0Pulmonary Care<\/strong>;\u00a0Gastrointestinal Care<\/strong>;General Surgery<\/strong>;\u00a0Critical Care<\/strong>; and\u00a0Patient Safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n
