Encino Hospital Medical Center is a Healthgrades Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Heart Failure

Encino Hospital Medical Center is a Healthgrades Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Heart Failure Encino Hospital Medical Center, a member of Prime Healthcare Foundation, is 5-star rated for Treatment of Heart Failure outcomes according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading resource that connects consumers, physicians, and health systems. Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 31 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions.* Healthgrades analysis shows that patients treated at hospitals receiving a 5-star rating have a lower risk of mortality and a lower risk of experiencing one or more complications during a hospital stay than if they were treated at hospitals receiving a 1-star rating in that procedure or condition. From 2018 through 2020, if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to hospitals receiving 5-stars as a group, on average, 218,141 lives could potentially have been saved, and complications in 156,050 patients could potentially have been avoided.* “Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of the differences of care provided by different hospitals. Consumers can feel confident that hospitals receiving a Healthgrades 5-star rating have demonstrated exceptional outcomes and their ability to provide quality care,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. For the 2022 Report to the Nation, Healthgrades compared hospitals with statistically better than expected performance (5-stars), as a group, to those with statistically worse than expected performance (1-star), as a group, and found, from 2018-2020, patients treated for Heart Failure in hospitals with 5-stars for in-hospital mortality have, on average, 61.6% lower risk of dying
