Coliseum Northside Hospital has been recognized as a recipient of the Patient Safety Excellence Award from Healthgrades, the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals. Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 34 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions.
 
These achievements are part of findings released by Healthgrades and are featured in their 2018 Report to the Nation. The new report demonstrates how clinical performance continues to differ dramatically between hospitals regionally and nationally.
 
Greg Caples, Chief Executive Officer of Coliseum Northside Hospital, said, “Patient safety is our top priority, and I am extremely pleased with the work that our physicians and hospital staff have done to insure that our patients are treated in a safe environment.”
 
In addition to the Patient Safety Excellence Award, Coliseum Northside Hospital has also been recognized by Healthgrades as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Spine Surgery.  The hospital also earned five star designation for spinal fusion and hip fracture treatment.
 
“Consumers place high value on information about hospital quality and use it to evaluate their choices for care,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Healthgrades. “Hospitals that have achieved recognition for their quality outcomes prove their commitment to their patients and their community at large.”
