By  | 

Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital has been recognized as a top performer in the 2024 Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Ranking by Vizient Inc. For a fourth consecutive year, Houston Methodist The Woodlands is ranked No. 1 out of 204 Vizient members in the nationwide Complex Care Medical Centers cohort. This ranking demonstrates excellence in delivering high-quality care based on the Vizient Quality and Accountability Ranking, which has been conducted annually since 2005.

“We are proudly celebrating being nationally ranked as the No. 1 Complex Care Medical Center for a fourth consecutive year by Vizient,” said David Bernard, Chief Executive Officer, Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital. “This prestigious national recognition is a direct result of the hard work and commitment of our physicians, nurses and staff to keeping the patient at the center of everything we do and achieving our vision of providing our patients with unparalleled safety, quality, service and innovation. This achievement highlights our amazing culture of safety and relentless consistency in providing our patients with the very best care and service possible. I’m very proud of our team.”

This year, 860 participating hospitals were segmented into four cohorts for the Vizient Quality and Accountability Study. The study measures performance on the quality of patient care in six domains: safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient centeredness and equity of care. The study factors in measures from the Vizient Clinical Data Base and includes performance data from the HCAHPS survey and the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network.
