Healthgrades Names Rothman Orthopaedic Specialty Hospital as Top 10% of U.S. Hospitals for Outstanding Patient Experience for the 6th Year in a Row!
This distinction places Rothman among the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide for patient experience, according to Healthgrades, the leading marketplace that connects people with the right doctor and hospital.
For this annual analysis, Healthgrades evaluated 3,173 hospitals that submitted at least 75 patient
experience surveys to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), covering admissions
from July 2020 to March 2021. Of those hospitals evaluated, 399 hospitals outperformed their
peers--based on their patients' responses- to achieve this award.
Healthgrades evaluates performance by applying a scoring methodology to ten patient experience
measures, using data collected from HCAHPS survey of the hospital's own patients. Survey
questions focus on patients' perspectives of their care in the hospital. The topic of these questions
range from cleanliness and noise levels in patient rooms to medication explanations and hospital
staff responsiveness to patients' needs. The measures also include whether a patient would
recommend the hospital to friends or family and their overall rating of the hospital.
“We applaud all recipients of the Healthgrades 2022 Outstanding Patient Experience Award for putting patient experience at the front and center within their organizations,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science, Healthgrades. “We commend these hospitals for their ongoing commitment in prioritizing an exceptional patient experience, while ensuring the health and safety of their patients.”
