Vermont Business Magazine U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, has named Rutland Regional Medical Center as a 2023-2024 High Performing hospital for hip replacement and knee replacement. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
Rutland Regional was one of only two hospitals in Vermont to achieve high recognition for both Hip and Knee replacement.
The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
“Being named ‘High Performing’ for orthopedic procedures really highlights the phenomenal teamwork and collaboration at Rutland Regional Medical Center,” said Judi Fox, President & CEO at Rutland Regional. “Our orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologist, operating room teams, recovery nurses, follow-up call nurses, and our physical rehabilitation teams all work seamlessly together to help patients have the best experience and recovery possible.”
U.S. news evaluated more than 4,500 hospitals across 15 specialties and 21 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“For 34 years, U.S. News has provided data-informed rankings to help patients and their doctors find the best hospital to treat their illness or condition,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “Fewer than half of evaluated hospitals earned any High Performing rating. Hospitals that are High Performing have excelled in providing high quality care in specific procedures and/or conditions.”
The U.S. News Procedures & Conditions methodology is based entirely on objective measures of quality such as survival rates, patient experience, and how successfully each hospital helps patients get back home.
