NEWTON, MA –Newton-Wellesley Hospital has been honored for its excellence in patient safety, according to an announcement released Tuesday by Healthgrades, a healthcare data company.
The award, which recognizes hospitals nationwide that provide quality care while preventing serious safety events during hospital stays, was given to just 10% of the hospitals that were evaluated.
"We are immensely proud of this recognition, which underscores our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of every patient entrusted to our care,” said Ellen Moloney, president and chief operating officer. “This achievement reflects the dedication and tireless efforts of every member of our exceptional team here at Newton-Wellesley Hospital."
Healthgrades says the award is based on an analysis of inpatient MedPAR data that measures clinical performance across 13 patient safety indicators (PSI), with each PSI representing a serious, potentially preventable complication. There were just 444 hospitals awarded as recipients.
The company has also awarded Newton-Wellesley 2024 awards for excellent in critical care, orthopedic surgery, and pulmonary care. It named it among America’s 250 best hospitals in January, placing it in the top 5%.
“As consumers take a more hands-on approach to their healthcare journeys, hospital quality should be a top consideration when choosing where to receive care,” said Dr. Brad Bowman, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades in a news release. “With this information, consumers can feel confident they’re making the most informed decisions about their healthcare.”
