Sherman Oaks Hospital in the top 5% in the Nation for Patient Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sherman Oaks Hospital announced today that it is a recipient of the Healthgrades 2019 Patient Safety Excellence AwardTM<\/sup>. This distinction places Sherman Oaks Hospital among the top 5% of all short-term acute care hospitals reporting patient safety data as evaluated by\u00a0Healthgrades<\/a><\/u>, the leading online resource for information about physicians and hospitals.<\/p>\n

Sherman Oaks Hospital received Healthgrades Critical Care Excellence AwardTM\u00a0<\/sup>(2017-2019) and Pulmonary Care Excellence AwardTM<\/sup>\u00a0Co( 2016-2019). These achievements are part of the findings released by Healthgrades and are featured in their\u00a02019 Report to the Nation<\/strong>. The report demonstrates how clinical performance continues to differ dramatically between hospitals regionally and nationally.*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sherman Oaks Hospital is a member of Prime Healthcare, one of the nation\u2019s largest hospital systems with 45 hospitals in 14 states. Prime Healthcare has more Patient Safety Excellence Award recipients for four consecutive years (2016-2019) than any other health system in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to recognize the recipients of the 2019 Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award, which shines a spotlight on the hospitals that are preventing the occurrence of serious, potentially avoidable complications, for patients during their hospital stay,\u201d said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Healthgrades. \u201cWe applaud these hospitals and their commitment to providing the best possible care for every patient.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the study period (2015 to 2017), Healthgrades 2019 Patient Safety Excellence Award recipient hospitals demonstrated excellent performance in safety provided for patients in the Medicare population, as measured by objective outcomes (risk-adjusted patient safety indicator rates) for 14 patient safety indicators defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).<\/p>\n

\u201cQuality patient care is at the center of all that we do, so it is especially meaningful when we are recognized by national organizations like Healthgrades for excellence,\u201d said Sunny Bhatia, MD, Coroporate Chief Medical Officer, Prime Healthcare, Division I and Chief Medical Officer, Sherman Oaks Hospital and Encino Hospital Medical Center. \u201cI congratulate and thank the physicians, nurses and staff at Sherman Oaks Hospital for their outstanding teamwork and commitment to quality, patient safety, and clinical excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Healthgrades found that patients treated in hospitals receiving the Patient Safety Excellence Award were, as compared to patients at non-recipient hospitals, on average*:<\/p>\n
