Above All Else IN THIS ISSUE:

Dear Research Family, We are moving on up, even more! HealthGrades just released its Annual Report to the Nation outlining hospital clinical quality and outcomes across the country. The data reported is based on performance in Medicare clinical indicators. Hospitals are ranked in stars based on their performance, with five stars being the best.

Integrity Compassion Always Respect Excellence

Research earned five stars in Orthopedics, Neurosciences, Pulmonary, Vascular and Critical Care. We also earned the Stroke Care Excellence Award for being at the five-star level for more than three years. And our Stroke Care is Top 10% in the nation for patient outcomes. Congratulations! We’re one of the best hospitals in the nation and in the Kansas City region. Speaking of excellence, earning our Pathway designation is an amazing accomplishment. We are the first in Kansas City and in our HCA Midwest Health division to achieve this! This designation is a lot about outstanding nursing but it’s also about all the departments who support and rally with nursing for the best patient care! Thank you for loving your patients and your co-workers.
