Becker’s Hospital Review named EvergreenHealth to its “100 Great Community Hospitals of 2016” list. The health system was among other leading hospitals recognized by Becker’s for its quality care, safety and service achievements over the last year, and for being a vital part of its community by offering quality care and exceptional services to its patient population.
The Becker’s Review honor comes on the heels of EvergreenHealth’s recent recognition among the nation’s Top 100 Hospitals by Truven Analytics for its ability to improve outcomes and reduce overall expenses per patient. EvergreenHealth was the only health system in Washington State to receive this distinction.
“We hold ourselves to the highest standards for quality care, safety, service and value, and we are proud to be named among other industry leaders for setting the bar in these critical areas,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. “This recognition is a true reflection of the dedication of our providers, nurses, staff and volunteers who share a purpose to enrich the health and well-being of every life we touch.”
Becker’s selected winning hospitals based on rankings and awards from organizations including iVantage Health Analytics, Truven Health Analytics, Healthgrades, CareChex, the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the Leapfrog Group.
Becker’s has published a version of this list annually since 2011. For the purposes of this list, Becker’s defines a “community hospital” as one with fewer than 550 beds and minimal teaching programs.
EvergreenHealth, with its network of two hospitals, 1,000-plus medical staff and 250 employed provider medical group, urgent care centers, home care and 24-hour Nurse Navigator & Healthline, has also been recognized as among the best hospitals in the nation by Healthgrades and U.S. News & World Report for quality and clinical outcomes, as well as the health system’s patient-centered approach to care.
