MountainView Hospital has achieved numerous accolades for clinical excellence, according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to find a hospital or doctor. Among MountainView Hospital’s distinctions are Specialty Excellence Awards placing the hospital in the Top 10% of the nation for Cardiac Care, Orthopedic Surgery, Pulmonary Care, Gastrointestinal Surgery, Critical Care and Surgical Care.
Specifically, MountainView was named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Surgical Care, and one of the top 100 hospitals for Critical Care, three years in a row. Additionally, MountainView received 17 five-star ratings for a multitude of services.
These achievements demonstrate MountainView Hospital’s commitment to consistently delivering the best care possible.
“We are proud that MountainView continues to garner recognitions for its quality care, especially in the complex areas of critical care, cardiac care, surgical care and pulmonary care,” said Hiral Patel, MountainView Hospital Chief Executive Officer. “This is a demonstration of the focus by all colleagues to deliver safe and quality care to our patients.”
Healthgrades evaluates hospitals solely on clinical outcomes: risk-adjusted mortality and complications. By focusing on what matters most, patient outcomes, Healthgrades ratings provide critical feedback for both patients and hospitals. By offering easy access to objective performance measures, Healthgrades gives consumers the information they need to find a hospital that excels in providing the care they need. And, by shining a light on strengths and weaknesses, Healthgrades ratings help direct hospitals to opportunities for clinical improvement. The 2024 hospital assessment evaluated patient mortality and complication rates for 35 common conditions and procedures at approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top performers.
The 2024 Healthgrades analysis revealed that the variation in performance among hospitals continues to widen, making it increasingly important to seek care at top-rated programs. From 2020 through 2022, if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals, on average, 215,667 lives could potentially have been saved, and 149,521 patients could have avoided potential complications.*
“Healthgrades congratulates MountainView Hospital for being a national leader and demonstrating a deep commitment to providing high quality care to all patients,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. “Your dedication, expertise, and tireless efforts have not only set you apart but have also positively impacted the lives of countless patients.”
