HAMILTON — The Joint Commission has named Community Memorial Hospital in Hamilton to its list of the country’s Top Performers on Key Quality Measures.
The designation comes after the hospital demonstrated evidence-based clinical processes to improve care during 2011. It received recognition for its work in pneumonia and surgical care.
“We understand that what matters most to patients at Community Memorial Hospital is safe, effective care,” Community Memorial President and CEO Sean Fadale said in a news release. “That’s why the employees, administration, and medical staff of Community Memorial Hospital have made a commitment to positive patient outcomes through evidence-based care processes. Community Memorial Hospital is proud to be named to the list of The Joint Commission’s Top Performers on Key Quality Measures.”
Community Memorial Hospital is one of 620 hospitals in the United States appearing on the top performers list. It is one of only 16 in New York. The Central New York Psychiatric Center in Marcy is also on the list for its hospital-based inpatient psychiatric services.
The Joint Commission is a not-for-profit organization that accredits and certifies over 19,000 health-care organizations in the nation.
