North Fulton Hospital is proud to once again be named to the Georgia Hospital Association’s Quality Honor Roll in the Chairman’s Category. This is the highest award category in GHA’s Quality Honor Roll Program. The honor roll is based on clinical data provided by the federal Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS), which administers the nation’s Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Of the 85 hospitals selected to the Honor Roll, only 20 made the Chairman’s Category, North Fulton Hospital being one of them. This award is based on the latest Appropriate Care Measures (ACM) rates for April 2009 to March 2010. All acute care hospitals are required to submit care data to CMS. This data details how well a hospital’s caregivers adhere to a list of eight Appropriate Care Measures (ACM); which are the clinical processes of care that are known to be the most effective methods of treatment for patients who have suffered heart attacks, heart failure or pneumonia. The ACM is a composite measure that determines whether or not a patient received the right care at the right time.
North Fulton Hospital is proud to continually shine in the area of quality and will continue to strive for such achievements.
