“It’s an honor to be recognized as one of America’s best hospitals for the third consecutive year,” said Arturo Polizzi, president of Metro Region Acute Care. “ProMedica Toledo Hospital is proud to provide the highest level of care to all patients and visitors that walk through our doors each and every day.”
Healthgrades determines America’s 100 Best Hospitals Award recipients by analyzing objective performance data such as risk-adjusted mortality and in-hospital complications among Medicare patients. During the 2017 study period (2013 – 2015), award recipients showed superior performance in clinical outcomes for patients across at least 21 of 32 of the most common inpatient conditions and procedures.
The 100 Best Hospitals also out-perform their peers in emergency care for conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart attack, stroke, pneumonia and sepsis. These hospitals are five times more likely than other facilities to have received a Healthgrades five-star rating for treatment of those conditions, according to Healthgrades. In addition to clinical outcomes, Healthgrades' top hospitals also excel at patient engagement.
