New report identifies Orange Regional Medical Center among the top hospitals nationally for excellence in Coronary Intervention
Orange Regional Medical Center is one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention according to a national study by Healthgrades, the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals. Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at almost 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 32 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions, as well as tracking outcomes in appendectomy and bariatric surgery using all-payer data provided by 15 states and the District of Columbia.*
“This award speaks to our organization’s commitment to quality and the contributions of all physicians and hospital staff members who make this designation possible,” said Orange Regional Medical Center President & CEO Scott Batulis.
This achievement is part of findings released in the Healthgrades 2019 Report to the Nation. The new report demonstrates how clinical performance differs dramatically between hospitals nationally, regionally and at the local level, and the impact that this variation has on health outcomes. Additionally, from 2015 through 2017, patients treated at hospitals receiving the America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention Award have, on average, 46 percent lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award. And patients treated at hospitals which did not receive the award were 1.85 times more likely to die than if they were treated at hospitals that did receive the award.*
“Hospitals that have achieved the Healthgrades America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention have proven their dedication to quality care and exceptional outcomes,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Healthgrades. “Consumers should consider hospital quality when navigating their care journeys, and this recognition distinguishes Orange Regional Medical Center in the marketplace.”
