South County Hospital was one of only two hospitals in Rhode Island to receive the 2016 Women’s Choice Award
® for outstanding care in obstetrics. This designation, which the Hospital has received two years in a row, is one-of-a-kind and identifies the country’s best healthcare institutions based on patient satisfaction, clinical excellence, quality of care, and what women say they want from a hospital.
“South County Hospital’s recognition as a Women’s Choice Hospital for obstetrics is a reflection of the high level of patient satisfaction, quality, and personalized care we strive to provide each woman,” said Lisa Rameaka, MD, Medical Director of the Women’s Health Service Line at South County Hospital. “New moms have many choices when it comes to receiving obstetrical care, and we’re fortunate that we’re a trusted name. Together, the doctors, the staff, and the Hospital all work to create an exceptional experience for women.”
The America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics scoring process is unique in that it is the only national list that focuses on female patient satisfaction. The hospitals that qualify for this highly selective designation provide an exceptional level of obstetric services. Scoring is based on patient recommendation scores, as provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in
Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys, as well as an analysis that identifies criteria most important to women’s patient satisfaction.
