St. John's Medical Center Earns "Top Performer on Key Quality Measures®" Recognition from The Joint Commission

18-Nov-2014

For the second year in a row, St. John's Medical Center has been recognized as a "Top Performer on Key Quality Measures®" by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in the United States.

St. John's was recognized as part of The Joint Commission’s 2014 annual report “America’s Hospitals: Improving Quality and Safety,” for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance for its care for patients with pneumonia, its surgical care, and its prevention of venous thromboembolism.

St. John's is one of 1,224 hospitals in the United States to achieve the 2013 "Top Performer" distinction and one of only 712 hospitals to achieve it for the past two consecutive years. The "Top Performer" program recognizes hospitals for improving performance on evidence-based interventions that increase the chances of healthy outcomes for patients with certain conditions.

To be a 2013 'Top Performer,' hospitals had to meet three performance criteria based on 2013 accountability measure data, including:
• Achieving cumulative performance of 95 percent or above across all reported accountability measures;
• Achieving performance of 95 percent or above on each and every reported accountability measure where there were at least 30 denominator cases; and
• Having at least one core measure set that had a composite rate of 95 percent or above, and -- within that measure set -- all applicable individual accountability measures had a performance rate of 95 percent or above.

“Delivering the right treatment in the right way at the right time is a cornerstone of high-quality health care. I commend the efforts of St. John's Medical Center for their excellent performance on the use of evidence-based interventions,” said Mark R. Chassin, M.D., FACP, M.P.P., M.P.H., president and CEO, The Joint Commission.

“We understand what matters most to patients at St. John's is the quality and safety of the care they receive. That is why we have made it a top priority to improve positive patient outcomes through evidence-based care processes,” said Lynn Kirman, chief nursing officer, St. John's Medical Center.

"St. John's is proud to be named a 'Top Performer' as it recognizes the knowledge, teamwork and dedication of our entire hospital staff,” said St. John's CEO Lou Hochheiser, MD.
