Newport Hospital named Top Performer by The Joint Commission

NEWPORT – Newport Hospital was recently recognized by The Joint Commission as a 2013 Top Performer on Key Quality Measures.

“It’s exciting and rewarding to have achieved this important quality milestone for our ongoing efforts to improve clinical performance and the patient experience,” said Crista F. Durand, president of Newport Hospital.

The Top Performer program, which recognized 1,224 U.S. hospitals, acknowledges hospitals for improving performance on evidence-based interventions that increase the chances of healthy outcomes for patients with certain conditions, such as heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care. Hospitals had to meet three performance criteria based on 2013 accountability measure data.

Newport Hospital was founded in 1873 and is Newport County’s only acute care hospital.
