Oklahoma City, OK -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/13/2016 -- Oklahoma Heart Hospital was recently named one of the country's 50 top cardiovascular hospitals by Truven Health Analytics for their outstanding clinical achievements. The Truven study is currently in its 17th year and picks out the very best providers of cardiovascular care based on publicly available data relating to patient outcomes as well as operational efficiencies. This marks the third time that the Oklahoma Heart Hospital has been given this award from Truven.
Dr. John R. Harvey, who is the chief executive officer and medical director of OHH, stated that it is the organization's mission to improve the heart health of those who live in Oklahoma as well as to conduct research that could serve to improve the heart health of people all around the world. Harvey went on to say that they are very honored to be among the elite group of hospitals nationwide to receive this very prestigious and coveted award.
The OHH North Campus earned the 2015 Pinnacle of Excellence Award earlier this month, and the OHH North and South campuses both earned the 2015 Guardian of Excellence Award from Press Ganey.
OHH has been named the highest performing hospital in the state of Oklahoma because of its extremely high patient satisfaction rate, which is based on measurements from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Truven stated that if all cardiovascular providers across the country performed at the same level as this year's winners, health care workers could save 8,000 more lives each year, and around 3,500 more heart patients wouldn't have to deal with complications. Oklahoma Heart Hospital is known for its extreme excellence in the healthcare industry because of its extraordinarily high patient satisfaction score.
OHH has been consistently recognized as a national leader in patient satisfaction and ranks in the top one percent in the country when it comes to cardiac procedural volumes. One of the reasons that Oklahoma Heart Hospital is able to connect with patients on such an effective and meaningful level is because of the fact that it is owned by actual physicians. The Truven Health 100 Top Hospitals program has been around since 1993 and has always used the independent and objective research of hospitals to determine which ones should be included in their list. Oklahoma Heart Hospital is the latest addition to this list for a number of reasons.
