Kaiser Permanente announced this week that its Vallejo And Vacaville Medical Centers have been named to the Cal Hospital Compare 2023 Patient Safety Honor Roll for providing patients with safe care across dozens of measures.
According to a news release, the honor roll recognizes 82 of the state's 347 adult, acute care hospitals. Kaiser Permanente Northern California had 14 hospitals on the honor roll – representing 17 percent of the hospitals recognized.
"One of our main priorities is to provide safe care to every patient every time, and we are proud to be on a list that validates all those efforts," Senior vice president and area manager for Kaiser Permanente Napa Solano, Darryl Curry, said in the news release.
The Patient Safety Honor Roll uses objective, publicly available patient safety measures to evaluate hospitals across a variety of domains including hospital acquired infections, adverse patient safety events, sepsis management, patient experience, and Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade.
"From the clinics to the pharmacies to the operating rooms, our care teams are committed to keeping our members healthy and safe," said Chris Walker, MD, physician in chief for Kaiser Permanente Napa Solano. "This is further confirmation that our Kaiser Permanente hospitals are the best places to receive care."
Hospitals on the honor roll had to meet a rigorous threshold of performance by having at least two-thirds of measure results above the 50th percentile and no measure result below the 10th percentile and/or Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade A for the past three reporting periods.
