Amador County - Sutter Amador Hospital is among eight hospitals affiliated with Sutter Health to receive the prestigious “Certificate of Excellence” from the California Hospital Assessment and Reporting Task Force (CHART). Only 40 hospitals across California received the award – and Sutter Health facilities comprise 20 percent of those honored for quality achievements in 50 categories. CHART is a third-party consumer-reporting agency. Other Sutter Health hospitals to be awarded include those located in Modesto, Tracy, Roseville and Davis. “Across our Sutter Health network, we want every single patient’s care–whether received in one of our hospitals, a physician’s office, over the telephone, or in the patient’s home–to be the absolute best,” said Dr. Gordon Hunt, chief medical officer for Sutter Health. “As part of this steadfast commitment, we routinely participate in quality surveys such as CHART. Doing so helps our hospitals identify opportunities to improve care, increase safety and provide better outcomes for patients in our communities.” CHART presents the “Certificate of Excellence” to hospitals that achieve “above average” or “superior scores” in five of the eight CHART measurement areas; do not receive a “below average” or “poor” score on any measure, and report data for all measurements for which they qualify. These measures include patient satisfaction and experience in common reasons for admissions such as cardiac care, maternity services and treatment for pneumonia. Participating hospitals voluntarily submit data. The not-for-profit Sutter Health network has participated in the CHART process since its inception in 2004. For complete performance information on the hospitals participating in CHART, see www.CalHospitalCompare.org. Published by the California HealthCare Foundation, the user-friendly online report card helps consumers search for quality information about hospitals by location, name or medical condition.
