Saint Anne’s named to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care’s honor roll

FALL RIVER – Harvard Pilgrim Health Care has announced that Saint Anne’s Hospital is one of 55 hospitals in New England to be named to its annual Hospital Honor Roll.
One of 21 Massachusetts hospitals in making the honor roll, Saint Anne’s is the only hospital in the Greater Fall River-Greater New Bedford area to receive the honor.
“It is gratifying for our physicians, nurses and all clinical team members who work so diligently on behalf of our patients to receive this recognition,” said Craig Jesiolowski, Saint Anne’s Hospital president. “Time and again, we are finding that our focus on providing high-level community care, by a team that also prides itself on a tradition of care, compassion and hope, is being recognized in very meaningful ways.”
Harvard Pilgrim’s Hospital Honor Roll recognizes adult acute-care hospitals whose performance was among the top 25 percent of those measured nationally on a set of composite quality and patient experience measures, as reported by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on Hospital Compare (www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov) and Leapfrog patient safety measures (www.leapfroggroup.org).
The Hospital Honor Roll complements Harvard Pilgrim’s annual Honor Roll for Physician Groups. Among this year’s honorees is the Greater Fall River chapter of the Steward Health Care Network, which includes more than 400 primary care and specialty providers in the Greater Fall River-New Bedford area.
Harvard Pilgrim evaluated hospitals on processes of care in four categories: cardiac; pneumonia; surgery – preventing infections; and surgery – preventing complications. The results of patient surveys measuring patient hospital experiences were included. The CMS patient safety measures included results that hospitals achieved in healthcare associated infections, hospital acquired conditions and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality patient safety composite scores.
The Harvard Pilgrim Hospital Roll is only the latest in a recent series of honors received by Saint Anne’s Hospital in recognition of its quality, safety and service to patients and families.
