Denver, CO, February 09, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Four HealthONE hospitals have been named one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals™, placing them in the top 5 percent of hospitals in the country and overall leaders in clinical excellence, according to Healthgrades. The four HealthONE hospitals who have been recognized as America’s Best Hospitals include Rose Medical Center, Sky Ridge Medical Center, Swedish Medical Center and The Medical Center of Aurora.

Methodology
Healthgrades is committed to delivering the most scientifically accurate and comprehensive information about doctors and hospitals – with data insights not available anywhere else. To assess overall hospital performance, Healthgrades reviewed outcomes across more than 31 of the most common procedures and conditions. Recipients of this award have consistently delivered better than expected outcomes for their patients.

Impact
America’s 250 Best Hospital award recipients are making an impact. HealthONE hospitals are consistently recognized by independent, third-party organizations such as IBM Watson Health, which recognized the system this year as the top health system in the state and one of the five best large health systems in the nation. Additionally, several of HealthONE hospitals have received a 5-Star rating from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), plus four of the hospitals have received an A grade from the Leapfrog Group. Additionally, two HealthONE hospitals – Rose Medical Center and The Medical Center of Aurora – are Magnet designated. As the universally recognized gold standard in nursing care, only about 6% of US hospitals achieve Magnet designation. From 2018-2020, patients treated in hospitals achieving this Healthgrades recognition on average had a 27.8 percent lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive this award, as measured across 17 rated conditions and procedures where mortality is the outcome. In fact, if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to HealthONE’s recognized hospitals and other 2022 Healthgrades America's 250 Best Hospitals, 160,256 lives could potentially have been saved from 2018-2020.*
