Healthgrades evaluates hospitals solely on clinical
outcomes: risk-adjusted mortality and complications. By focusing on what
matters most, patient outcomes, Healthgrades ratings provide critical feedback
for both patients and hospitals. By offering easy access to objective
performance measures, Healthgrades gives consumers the information they need to
find a hospital that excels in providing the care they need. And, by shining a
light on strengths and weaknesses, Healthgrades ratings help direct hospitals to
opportunities for clinical improvement. The 2024 hospital assessment
evaluated patient mortality and complication rates for 35 common conditions and
procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top
performers.
The 2024 Healthgrades analysis revealed that the variation
in performance among hospitals continues to widen, making it increasingly
important to seek care at top-rated programs. From 2020 through 2022, if
all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals, on
average, 215,667 lives could potentially have been saved, and 149,521 patients
could have avoided potential complications.*
“Healthgrades congratulates HCA Houston Healthcare Southeast
for being a national leader and demonstrating a deep commitment to providing
high-quality care to all patients,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer
and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. “Your dedication, expertise, and
tireless efforts have not only set you apart but have also positively impacted
the lives of countless patients.”
