U.S. News & World Report Names TMH Among Best Hospitals in Florida
August 2, 2023Categories: General
Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) has once again been recognized as a Best Hospital for 2021-22 by U.S. News & World Report.
The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings, now in their 32nd year, are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or for common elective procedures. For the 2021-22 rankings and ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,750 medical centers nationwide in 17 procedures and conditions. Fewer than a third of all hospitals receive any high-performing ratings. TMH earned six “High Performing” ratings in COPD, Diabetes, Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Kidney Failure and Stroke care.
“Providing patient care that is among the best in the nation is more than our goal, it’s our commitment to those we serve. Being recognized by U.S. News and World Report just confirms that we’re getting it right and honoring that commitment,” explained Jana Iezzi-Tumblin, Vice President/Chief Improvement Officer of TMH. “This isn’t just a win for Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, it is a win for our community.”
“This year’s expanded report from U.S. News includes new ratings for important procedures and conditions to help each patient pick the right hospital for the type of care they need,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “Hospitals faced incredible challenges this past year, and the best of them have provided great care throughout the pandemic and continue to offer excellent care today.”
The U.S. News Procedures & Conditions methodology is based entirely on objective measures of quality such as risk-adjusted outcome rates, volume, quality of nursing and other care-related indicators.
The Procedures & Conditions ratings were produced by U.S. News analysts. For more information about the 2021-22 rankings and ratings, please visit the FAQ.
