Physicians’ Specialty Hospital Receives Women’s Choice Award® Seal as One of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics
Fayetteville, AR (PRWEB) May 20, 2014 -- Physicians’ Specialty Hospital has been named a Women’s Choice Award® recipient as an America’s Best Hospital for Orthopedics, acknowledging Physicians’ Specialty Hospital‘s dedication to provide exceptional patient care and treatment. The award is based on robust criteria that include patient satisfaction measurements as well as consideration of areas of clinical excellence.
Providing women with smart orthopedic choices is critically important. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), osteoporosis, a disease characterized by weakened and fragile bone tissue, is one of the key diseases that predominately affect women. In fact, half of all women age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime (NOF, 2013). Of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, about eight million or 80% are women. The NOF also notes that a woman's risk of breaking a hip is equal to her combined risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer (NOF, “What Women Need To Know“).
Physicians’ Specialty Hospital qualifies for this highly selective annual list based on an in-depth proprietary scoring process. The scoring utilizes data reported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The selection process identifies those hospitals that provide comprehensive orthopedic services, and that meet criteria for patient satisfaction and surgical excellence based on female needs and preferences.
“As one of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics, Physicians’ Specialty Hospital is demonstrating their commitment to fulfill the needs and preferences of women by meeting the highest standards of excellence and performance,” states Delia Passi, CEO and founder of the Women’s Choice Award program, and former group publisher of Working Woman and Working Mother magazines.
The Women’s Choice Award program provides women with a trusted third party endorsement based on hospital experiences by patients in their community and back that with clinical data. By carrying the Women’s Choice Award seal, Physicians’ Specialty Hospital has joined an elite network of hospitals committed to a global mission to empower women to make smart healthcare choices.
“We are thrilled to stand among the nation’s best in orthopaedics,” said Russ Greene, RN and CEO of Physicians’ Specialty Hospital. “The physicians and staff at Physicians’ Specialty Hospital are dedicated to continuing to deliver the very best care possible to every one of our patients, each and every day. We are devoted to continuing our efforts to earn the trust of healthcare consumers by maintaining our Matter of Excellence.”
“Women spoke and clearly defined what’s important to them when seeking an orthopedic hospital and the standard of excellence they expect for themselves and their families. As one of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics, Physicians’ Specialty Hospital was selected due to their excellent rating in areas such as post-treatment complications, patient recommendation ratings, availability of microscopic surgery and adequate post-surgical care,” says Delia Passi.
Women have many choices when it comes to orthopedic care. Now they can make informed choices based on the recommendations of women who have experienced that hospital. Most importantly, when a woman sees the Women’s Choice Award seal at her local hospital, she’ll know the hospital values her experience as a critical component of care for her and her loved ones.
