One Mississippi hospital was named on a list of America’s 50 Best Hospitals.
To determine the 250 Best Hospitals, Healthgrades evaluated clinical performance for approximately 4,500 hospitals in more than 30 common procedures and conditions.
“Patients are taking a more active role in their care than ever before, but real empowerment comes from having choices and access to information they can trust,” said Dr. Alana Biggers, medical advisor at Healthgrades. “This year’s America’s Best Hospitals list gives patients a clearer picture of where high-quality care is delivered most consistently, helping them understand their options and feel confident in choosing the care that’s right for them.
Healthgrades lists the top 50, 100 and 250 facilities each year. The Best 100 are the top 2% of hospitals, and the Best 250 represent the top 5%.
Which Mississippi hospital is one of the best in the US?
Baptist Memorial Hospital – North Mississippi in Oxford has made the Healthgrades list for two years in a row.
The facility earned additional special clinical quality awards:
- America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Critical Care Award: Noted for “Superior clinical outcomes in treating pulmonary embolism, respiratory system failure, sepsis, and diabetic emergencies.”
- Pulmonary Care Excellence Award: The facility also has superior clinical outcomes “treating pulmonary embolism, respiratory system failure, sepsis, and diabetic emergencies.”
Why do people love Baptist Memorial in Oxford?
The health care center has a high patient experience rating. The 78% is 12% higher than the national average.
Healthgrades noted better outcomes than expected regarding pressure sores or bed sores acquired in the hospital, and another nine ratings were as expected. Baptist has no reports of objects being left in a body during a surgery.
The only two ratings that Healthgrades said were worse than expected were related to “bloodstream infection following surgery” and “collapsed lung due to a procedure or surgery in or around the chest.”
