GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ (December 6, 2016) – The Leapfrog Group announced today Inspira Medical Center Woodbury has been named one of seven Top Hospitals in New Jersey. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prestigious distinctions a hospital can receive in the U.S., the recognition showcases the Gloucester County-based hospital’s commitment to patient safety and quality. Additionally, Inspira Medical Center Woodbury has received ‘A’ grades in three consecutive Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade surveys.
“Every member of our team, from our physicians and nurses to our pharmacists, housekeepers, transport staff and other support staff, are fully committed to healing our patients, keeping them safe while in our hospital and preventing accidental harm. By achieving Leapfrog’s Top Hospital distinction, our community members can feel confident in the quality of care we are privileged to provide,” said Patrick Nolan, chief operating officer of Inspira Medical Center Woodbury.
Inspira Medical Center Woodbury received a Top General Hospital distinction, and was one of 115 Top Hospitals recognized across the country. The list includes:
- 9 Top Children’s Hospitals
- 56 Top General Hospitals
- 21 Top Rural Hospitals
- 29 Top Teaching Hospitals
The selection of Top Hospitals is based on the results of the 2016 Leapfrog Hospital Survey. Performance across many areas of hospital care is considered in establishing the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, maternity care, and a hospital’s ability to prevent medication errors. The rigorous standards are defined in each year’s Top Hospital Methodology.
“Being acknowledged as a Top Hospital is an incredible feat achieved by less than three percent of hospitals nationwide,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “With this honor, Inspira Medical Center Woodbury has established its commitment to safer and higher quality care. Providing this level of care to patients in Gloucester County requires motivation and drive from every team member. I congratulate the board, staff and clinicians, whose efforts made this honor possible.”
