Henrico Doctors' Hospital again named one of nation's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals
Henrico Doctors’ Hospital has for a third consecutive year been named one of the nation’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals® according to an independent quality analysis based on a balanced scorecard provided by Premier, Inc. and published by Modern Healthcare.
“We continue to lead the way for cardiac care in Central Virginia and are thrilled with this recognition of our team’s efforts,” said Ryan Jensen, chief executive officer for Henrico Doctors’ Hospital. “This is yet another testament to our care teams’ hard work and commitment to providing world-class care and exceptional outcomes."
HCA Virginia hospitals care for more hearts, veins and arteries than any other health system in Central Virginia. Henrico Doctors’ Hospital specializes in heart valve diagnosis and repair, as well as both traditional and minimally invasive surgery for conditions like heart arrhythmia, heart attack, heart disease, heart failure and vascular disease.
The 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals list is based on an objective, quantitative analysis of publicly available data.
Based on comparisons between the study’s top performers and a peer group of similar hospitals, this year’s analysis found that the 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals delivered better outcomes while operating more efficiently.
Compared to peer hospitals, those in the 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals delivered better results across all 21 measures, including clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, extended outcomes and patient experience.
According to the study’s analysis, if all U.S. hospitals’ cardiovascular service lines performed at the level of this year’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals, the impact could include over 14,000 additional lives potentially saved, more than 27,000 additional bypass and angioplasty patients experiencing fewer complications, and over $2.0 billion in potential savings.
“Cardiovascular care is one of the most complex and impactful service lines in healthcare,” said David Zito, President of Performance Services at Premier. “The 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals program highlights organizations delivering strong outcomes while providing hospital leaders with meaningful benchmarks to help improve care.”
