Good Samaritan Hospital Named Among HealthGrades America’s 50 Best Hospitals for 2007

13-Apr-2007

Recognition based on outstanding clinical performance over seven-year period; Hospital also recognized as Distinguished Hospital 5 years in a row

Los Angeles (April 13, 2007) – Good Samaritan Hospital is named as one of America's 50 Best Hospitals in 2007 by HealthGrades, the nation's leading independent healthcare ratings company.

"To be ranked among America's 50 Best Hospitals by HealthGrades is a great honor and is a tribute to our physicians and staff who deliver wonderful care to our patients year after year," said Andrew B. Leeka, president and CEO of Good Samaritan Hospital. "This unwavering commitment to quality can be found in every aspect of our organization. This award challenges us to continue that commitment and assure that everyone in our community has access to the best possible care."

HealthGrades has analyzed patient outcome data for virtually every hospital in the country across 28 different hospital procedures and diagnoses. HealthGrades' risk-adjustment methodology considers important differences in patient demographics and medical conditions that could increase the patient's risk of mortality or complications. The study identifying America's 50 Best Hospitals is based on a risk-adjusted assessment of approximately 90 million Medicare discharge records from 1999 through 2005.

America's 50 Best Hospitals, including Good Samaritan Hospital have consistently achieved better survival rates and lower complication rates. As a whole, in hospitals that received the America's 50 Best Hospital distinction, patients are 28 percent more likely to survive and five percent less likely to have a major complication according to HealthGrades.
