Respect from the elders
Posted on March 26, 2009 at 3:03 pmVanderbilt University Medical Center and Baptist Hospital have made the list of the AARP’s Top 125 hospitals in major metro areas.
The survey was part of the research for a new book from Consumers’ Checkbook (www.checkbook.org), called Consumers’ Guide to Hospitals, which uses government safety statistics and data on death and complication rates, along with survey results, to compare and rank hospitals in the nation’s largest metro areas. The final list of top 125 hospitals was selected from 1,467 acute-care hospitals in the nation’s largest population areas. Key measures included:
* Ratings by patients
* Ratings by physicians
* Death rates and adverse-outcome rates
* Doing proper tests and procedures
* Major medical school affiliation
* Leapfrog Group safety standards
The only other Tennessee facilities making the list were Memphis’ Methodist University Hospital and Baptist Memorial Hospital.
