Stephens County Hospital receives
recognition from the Georgia Hospital Association.
The GHA’s Partnership for Health and Accountability recently named Stephens County Hospital to its Core Measures Honor Roll.
The honor roll is based on clinical data provided by the federal Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services, or CMS, which administers the nation’s Medicare and Medicaid programs. The data was collected from January 2011 to December 2011.
Hospitals are required to submit care data to CMS, which details how well a hospital’s caregivers adhere to a list of Value-Based Purchasing core measures. These measures are the clinical processes of care that are known to be the most effective methods of treatment for surgical patients and patients who have suffered heart attacks, pneumonia, and heart failure.
According to the GHA, Stephens County Hospital is one of 26 hospitals in Georgia to be placed in the Trustee category, one of the highest on the list.
Georgia Hospital Association President Joseph Parker said that is a great accomplishment for Stephens County Hospital, adding that this recognition further underscores the commitment of the Stephens County Hospital staff to ensuring that every patient receives the best, most effective health care possible.
Stephens County Hospital Administrator Ed Gambrell said that it is the hospital’s mission to ensure that each patient receives the right care at the right time and this recognition validates this, adding that the honor is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the hospital’s staff who are constantly working to make excellent care even better.
