New York, NY, Aug. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. News & World Report just released it’s Best Hospitals rankings for 2018- 2019. Among the esteemed top 15, are 8 hospitals that use CipherHealth’s technology to better their patient engagement and outcomes.
U.S. News compared more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide across 25 specialties, procedures and conditions. The rankings also took into consideration risk-adjusted survival and readmission rates, volume, patient experience, patient safety and quality of nursing, among other care-related indicators. Prominent changes to this year’s rankings included more emphasis on patient outcomes and patient experience measures.
As the healthcare industry continues to find ways of prioritizing value over volume, patient engagement is becoming increasingly important. From pre-arrival surveys to post-discharge follow up, medical centers are constantly seeking ways of involving patients more in their care to improve outcomes and experiences.
“CipherHealth is proud to collaborate with and serve so many of the top institutions with solutions designed to put patients at the center of their care. With our technologies, healthcare providers are proactively identifying and addressing patient concerns inside and outside the four walls of the hospital. Focusing on getting patients what they need, when they need it has proven to be a great strategy in providing high-quality care,” said co-founder Zach Silverzweig.
CipherHealth was founded in 2009 with the goal of helping hospitals reduce readmissions. Since then, CipherHealth’s patient engagement suite has grown to help hundreds of provider organizations effectively and efficiently provide high quality care for their patients.
