Denver, CO, October 08, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center, part of HealthONE, has been named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Cancer Care by the Women’s Choice Award®, America’s trusted referral source for the best in healthcare. The award signifies that Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center is in the top 9% of 4,812 U.S. hospitals offering cancer care services.
A hospital must be designated by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer Classification (ACS CoC) as one of four specific types of cancer programs to be considered for the award. The Women’s Choice Award measures hospitals on the presence of specific cancer-related services offered onsite, infection rates and patient recommendation ratings on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Survey. The award is unique in that criteria also include primary research about women’s healthcare preferences.
“Women will search on their own for the best cancer care,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award. “According to our own survey, nearly two-thirds of women would do their own research vs. letting a doctor choose a hospital for their cancer care. The Women’s Choice Award makes it easier for them to make confident decisions.”
Accreditation required for the award ensures that a hospital or facility offers a full range of diagnostic and treatment services, or provides integrated cancer care and comprehensive services.
Low infection rates compared to the national average are another important measure. Oncology patients are more susceptible than other patients to hospital-acquired infections because of their compromised immune systems.
Passi emphasized that Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center and all 2018 America’s Best Hospitals for Cancer Care deliver on the care that matters most to women. “In addition to our award winners’ high-level performance on a national level, they provide the care that women value most, including easily accessible services onsite to avoid multiple trips for their treatment, which is so important to women faced with a cancer diagnosis,” stated Passi.
Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center is one of 452 award recipients representing the hospitals that have met the highest standards for cancer care in the U.S. by the Women’s Choice Award.
