HealthLine Systems’ Clients Honored as Top Hospitals of 2014
San Diego, California (PRWEB) January 13, 2015 -- Each year medical errors result in the death of 400,000 Americans — more than from any illness aside from cancer and heart disease. This chilling statistic highlights the urgent work to be done in the realm of patient safety. In an effort to recognize hospitals that have successfully worked to reduce these deadly medical errors, The Leapfrog Group (Leapfrog) has released its list of the 2014 top hospitals in the United States.
Leapfrog evaluates hospitals’ performance on national standards related to patient safety, quality, efficiency and management structures that reduce medical errors. Top hospitals report lower infection rates, higher survival rates for high-risk procedures, decreases in length of stay and reduced readmissions. “These Top Hospitals represent the best of American healthcare and deserve to be recognized for their commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of their patients,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.

HealthLine Systems’ software solutions help healthcare organizations improve patient safety, reduce readmissions, and track and trend quality indicators. Eight or nearly 14% of Top Urban Hospitals, six or 23% of Top Rural Hospitals, and two or 22% of Top Children’s Hospitals — or in some cases their parent systems — use one or more software solutions from HealthLine Systems, Inc.
HealthLine Systems’ CEO Dan Littrell commented: “We are proud of our clients that are honored by Leapfrog Group as Top Hospitals of 2014. Our software solutions enable clients to deploy standardized best practice methodologies to track and reduce patient safety incidents and to document improvements in quality.”
