Temple Health announced today that for the second consecutive year, Temple University Hospital Inc. (including Main, Jeanes, Episcopal and Northeastern campuses) has been named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care by Healthgrades, a national healthcare data company that develops objective ratings based on risk-adjusted, publicly reported outcome data and other information. This achievement puts TUH in the top 10% of hospitals nationwide for cardiac care.
“These significant quality and safety recognitions showcase to the nation that Temple’s multidisciplinary specialty care teams are leaders in providing our patients and community with advanced care using leading-edge technologies in state-of-the-art facilities,” said Abhinav Rastogi, MBA, MIS, President and CEO of TUH and Executive Vice President of Temple University Health System.”
Healthgrades evaluated patient mortality and complication rates for common conditions and procedures at nearly 4,500 hospitals across the country to identify the top-performing hospitals for specialty care. Patients treated at a hospital that is on Healthgrades’ 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care list have a 33.5% lower risk of dying, on average, than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award.*
