Description

Putnam County Hospital has earned a 4Star Overall Hospital Quality Rating based on data collected on Hospital Compare The ratings for hospital facilities throughout the nation were released to the public in December of 2016

How did Putnam County Hospital earn the 4Star rating The new Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating summarizes data from existing quality measures publicly reported on Hospital Compare an online tool where consumers can view the quality of facilities into a single star rating for each hospital The data tracks areas such as Patientsrsquo experiences timely and effective care complications readmissions and deaths use of medical imaging and payment and value of care

Based on the results of the data over 4000 Medicarecertified hospitals are rated on a 5Star system Putnam County Hospital is proud to be one of only 20 out of 4598 hospitals to earn the 4Star rating

Why is the star rating important for consumers and patients Think of it as the same process individuals use when looking online at hotels Most go to a travel site and narrow down their search for the highest quality hotel room based on its star rating The star rating for hospital facilities is a very similar tool to help consumers and patients choose the highest quality of care

Dr Lisa Martin a primary care physician with Putnam Pediatrics and Internal Medicine states ldquoItrsquos very gratifying to have external validation and public knowledge of the quality of care we give to every patient every time Our patients can be reassured that they are receiving the very best in healthcare when they walk in our doorsrdquo
