Terrebonne General Health System has been named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Patient Safety and Emergency Care by the Women’s Choice Award®.
"Receiving recognition in these two categories highlights our team’s dedication to providing the safest, highest-quality care and exceptional patient satisfaction," said Phyllis Peoples, president and CEO of Terrebonne General. "I applaud our physicians and staff for their daily commitment to delivering outstanding care and congratulate them on this remarkable achievement."
The methodology used to select Terrebonne General as one of the Best Hospitals for Patient Safety is unique in that it evaluates 13 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) measures of infections and complications, Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey results along with primary research about women’s healthcare preferences.
“Not all hospitals can say they are the safest in the country, and by identifying those who are, the Women’s Choice Award is helping the female consumer identify the hospitals in her community that are dedicated to creating the safest patient experience,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award.
