Hospitals earning the Emergency Care Award consistently rank in the top 25 percent of hospitals reporting on their emergency department’s performance to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The eight measures CMS publicly reports relate primarily to the amount of time taken in the ER such as time for diagnosis, medication, and admission to the hospital, and are weighted according to the priorities of women surveyed.
Staci Covey, President of Guthrie Troy Community Hospital said: “Our hospital is extremely proud to be recognized by our patients as a leader in local emergency care. This award signifies that women across our area can choose Guthrie Troy Community Hospital with confidence knowing that other women have tried and experienced the exceptional care we provided here and would highly recommend it to their family and friends.”
