GVMC Receives 4 Star Quality and Safety Rating
RONCEVERTE, WV - Greenbrier Valley Medical Center is pleased to announce that it has earned a four star quality and safety rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The most common overall hospital quality and safety star rating is three stars. Only two southern West Virginia acute care hospitals included in the survey received a four star rating. GVMC scored above the national average in patient safety, preventing hospital acquired infections, and timeliness of care.
“We are committed to continuing to provide safe, quality care for every patient” said Jim Hobson, Chief Executive Officer. “Our physicians, nurses and other clinicians work to continually improve care, and measurement helps us identify progress and opportunities to further improve.”
The overall rating shows how well an individual hospital is performing compared to other hospitals in the U.S., on average. CMS uses data regularly reported by hospitals and summarizes up to 64 quality measures into a star rating. This rating is designed to help individuals, family members and care givers compare hospitals and easily understand complex quality information.
CMS released the overall hospital quality ratings in December 2017. For more information, visit www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare.
