Health care reform brings increasing numbers of insured patients to strain your already overburdened emergency department. Focusing on your emergency department from triage to admission not only improves efficiency and patient satisfaction, it can significantly improve the most important outcome: patient mortality.
 
On February 21, 2012, HealthGrades will publicly recognize top hospitals for emergency medicine. These 263 recipients represent the top 5% of hospitals in the nation with the lowest risk-adjusted mortality rates for patients admitted through the emergency department for 12 common, life-threatening cohorts. This HealthGrades Emergency Excellence Award  distinction helps consumers to compare hospital quality for serious medical emergencies like heart attack, stroke, sepsis and diabetic emergencies.
