Temple University Hospital – Jeanes Campus has earned statewide recognition by The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) for outstanding performance in patient safety. HAP’s 2024 Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition program honors 22 of Pennsylvania’s top-performing hospitals that have demonstrated low rates of healthcare-associated infections. TUH-Jeanes was one of only three hospitals in the Philadelphia region to earn this honor.
“Outstanding results like this require commitment to continuous quality and safety improvement,” said Abhinav Rastogi, MBA, MIS, President and CEO of Temple University Hospital and Executive Vice President of Temple University Health System. “I congratulate the care teams at Temple University Hospital – Jeanes Campus on their sustained focus on safety and dedication to providing truly high-quality care to our patients and our community.”
HAP identifies top-performing hospitals using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network. To be recognized, hospitals must perform better than the mean standardized infection ratio in three key measures: central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), and occurrences of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff).
