Thousands of Women Identify America's Best Hospitals for Giving Birth, 2015 Women's Choice Award
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Women's Choice Award, a leading consumer advocacy group, honors the 2015 America's Best Hospitals for Obstetrics. This annual distinction is the only evidence-based designation that identifies the country's best hospitals based on robust criteria that considers female patient satisfaction, clinical excellence, and what thousands of moms say they want from a hospital.
The America's Best Hospitals for Obstetrics scoring process is unique in that it is the only national list that focuses on female patient satisfaction. Only the hospitals who qualify for this highly selective designation provide the highest level of obstetric services based on their exceptional scores for patient recommendation, as provided by data reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys, as well as an analysis that weighs criteria identified as the most important to women for patient satisfaction, including early elective deliveries. Hospitals do not pay to be on the list.
Of the 371 awarded, the hospitals below proudly carry the Women's Choice Award Seal as a symbol of their commitment to empower women to make smart healthcare choices for themselves and their loved ones.
