Hospital Performance
90% of patients would recommend Woman’s!
Providing quality and safe healthcare is important to Woman’s and we’re listening to your feedback. On a quarterly basis, we update our website with our patients' perspectives of our hospital care and our surgical care improvement projects according to national guidelines. We also compare ourselves to similar specialty hospitals, nationally and internationally, to see how well we are performing.
Hospital Compare website was created through the efforts of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), along with the Hospital Quality Alliance (HQA) to allow consumers to compare hospitals with national performance. The HQA was founded to support the reporting of hospital quality of care. The information on Hospital Compare can be used by any patients needing hospital care. Hospital Compare uses quality measures to determine how often hospitals provide recommended care to obtain the best results for most patients.
AHA HQA Quality Data online report is an easy-to-use way to review our performance. It is based primarily on data collected and reported to CMS.
AHRQ Agency for Health Care Research and Quality
Supports research to improve health care quality. This website contains patient education on many health care topics.

| * Process quality data is based on the hospital's frequency of following best practices or processes that have been shown through research to deliver the best results for most patients. For example, national research shows that giving patients an antibiotic within one hour before surgery reduces their risk of developing infections related to the surgery. Because patients tend to do better when this process is followed, this is an industry-wide quality measure. This data reflects the average of all CMS scores as reported on CMS Hospital Compare. |
