Some things are worth blogging about. I have copied an email that I sent out earlier today and I think it says a lot and is worth celebrating.

For the second consecutive year, GHS specialty programs have been ranked in the US News and World Report 2010-2011 edition of America’s Best Hospitals. The list contains rankings of the top 50 hospitals in 16 different specialties. Greenville Memorial Hospital is one of only 152 U.S. hospitals to appear on this year’s rankings. The following GMH programs have been named:
• Diabetes and Endocrine Disorders (#25)
• Gastroenterology (#39 in category)
• Heart and Heart Surgery (#45)
We also ranked #5 in the country for lowest rate of readmissions and received a 2010 Silver Achievement Award for Coronary Arty Disease/Congestive Heart Failure//Stroke.
US News and World Report uses a data-driven ranking methodology to assess four specific components: reputation, death rate, patient safety (new this year), and care-related factors such as nursing and patient services. Hospitals have to pass through several “gates” to be ranked and considered a Best Hospital. These include (in the following sequence) hospital eligibility, specialty program eligibility, and then specific specialty assessments based on the components referenced above.
GMH and MUSC are the only South Carolina hospitals to be named in these rankings. As mentioned above, this is also the second year that any GHS specialty has been ranked among the top 50 in any specialty program. We also ranked #5 in the country for lowest rate of readmissions and received a 2010 Silver Achievement Award for Coronary Artery Disease/Congestive Heart Failure/Stroke..
These rankings are a significant achievement for the ranked specialty areas and I congratulate the physicians and staff in each of these areas. In many ways, these rankings also reflect on our system as a whole including our network of hospitals, physicians practices and especially our highly dedicated teams of physicians, nurses, allied health and other professionals and staff who demonstrate their commitment to excellence in patient care, safety and service in their work every single day.
Thank you for the work you do to support the operations and achievements of our organization. Our vision calls on us to transform health care for the benefit of the people and communities we serve. This type of recognition is a great reminder that we are making important strides toward this vision.
As always, I welcome your thoughts and comments about these results.
