BALDRIGE RECIPIENTS SCORE HIGH QUALITY MEASUREMENTS

摘要

Healthcare organizations that received the Baldrige National Quality Award matched or exceeded the measurements of healthcare quality and patient experience of their nearby competitors, according to a recent study. Thirty-four organizations that received the award were compared with 153 of their competitors located within a 25 to 50-mile radius. Researchers examined data for 39 measurements that U.S. hospitals publicly report to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
