Roger Williams Medical Center Ranked In Top 38% of Nation’s Hospitals
Roger Williams Medical Center, an affiliate of CharterCARE Health Partners, has earned the coveted “High Performing” ratings in two clinical areas, placing itself in the top 38% of hospitals nationally according to data collected by US News and World Report.
The two High Performing areas are Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma, and Diabetes.
Of the over 4,400 U.S. hospitals that U.S. News Report evaluated, Roger Williams is among only 38% that earned a "High Performing" rating. U.S. News’ analyses measured patient outcomes using data from over 800 million patient care records.
The records reviewed covered more than 67 million Medicare beneficiaries (nearly 1 in 4 Americans) and 1.5 billion medical claims over a 5–7-year period -- in 12 medical specialties and 22 unique surgical procedures or medical treatments.
Eligible hospitals were assessed on three key areas:
- Outcomes: how well patients survived or recovered.
- Process: how well the hospital follows the best standards of care.
- Structure: hospital resources and technologies.
CharterCARE CEO Jeffey Liebman stated, “We are extremely proud of Roger Williams’ performance in this national study of hospital clinical performance. This demonstrates that while we are a low-cost provider, we can also deliver nationally recognized quality care to the patients we serve.”
Roger Williams Medical Center is a 220-bed acute care teaching hospital affiliated with Boston University School of Medicine. It operates a regional cancer center and has significant clinical specialties in geriatrics, digestive diseases, behavioral health and addiction medicine.
