The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in the United States, has designated Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Mount Sinai St. Luke’s, and Mount Sinai Roosevelt as “Top Performers on Key Quality Measures,” based on data from 2013.
The “Top Performer” program recognizes institutions for improving performance on evidence-based interventions that increase the likelihood of good medical outcomes for patients with certain conditions. As “Top Performers,” the hospitals will be included in The Joint Commission’s America’s Hospitals: Improving Quality and Safety, an online annual report found at http://bit.ly/1xMz5qM and also on The Joint Commission’s Quality Check® website.
The Commission found that the hospitals attained and sustained excellence in several accountability measures for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, and surgical care.
