A free resource to help women find the best healthcare based on what matters most to her

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Women’s Choice Award, the only national healthcare accolade that takes into consideration the preferences of women when selecting a hospital, launched its 2022 list of America’s Best Hospitals in fourteen service line areas as well as Patient Safety and Overall Patient Experience this month.
Consumer trust in hospitals and health facilities is challenged and they seek reassurance now more than ever. According to a national survey of 1,000 women respondents conducted by WomenCertified, Inc., 86% of women would travel up to 50 miles for a hospital that was rated higher for patient experience.

The quality of care at some hospitals is better than that at other hospitals. Understanding her choices will help her make a more informed decision.
The Women’s Choice Award Best Hospitals list is designed to help women make smart healthcare choices by identifying those hospitals that are meeting the unique needs, preferences and high standards set by women. Considering that women account for 90%+ of all healthcare decisions for herself and her family, meeting and exceeding her needs and expectations is the strongest and most important consumer message in today’s healthcare marketplace.

“We all thrive when women are empowered to choose the best health care for herself and her family” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award. “Choosing the best care was, and continues to be, a challenge, especially for certain demographics, but fortunately for women, and men, the Women’s Choice Award provides a free resource where patients are provided 100% objective, fact-based reporting and ratings on every hospital as well as for breast centers, mammogram imaging, extended care facilities and more based on what matters most to women when choosing a hospital.”

The Women’s Choice Award Best Hospitals methodology is unique in that it is the only national list that simplifies a woman’s choice when selecting a hospital. The Women’s Choice Award’s understanding of what matters most to women when selecting a hospital is based on surveys of tens of thousands of women, as well as research conducted in partnership with the Wharton School of Business on what drives the consumer experience for women vs. men. This research resulted in the understanding that clinical performance cannot be separated from patient experience. Furthermore, all of the methodologies take into consideration the patient recommendation rating based on patient feedback.

In arriving at their award determinations, the Women’s Choice Award uses the most recent publicly available information from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), as well as accreditation information from appropriate sources to analyze approximately 4,500 hospitals, 8,400 mammogram imaging centers and 15,000 extended care facilities. In some cases, they have surveyed thousands of women to determine which measures are most important to them. Their methodology is 100% objective, replicable and uniform. There are no subjective considerations for any of their awards. Only the Top 10% of hospitals in the nation qualify as a Best Hospital in any category. Reporting is done for Overall Patient Experience, Bariatric Surgery, Comprehensive Breast Care, Cancer Care, Emergency Care, Extended Care, Heart Care, Mammogram Imaging Centers, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Obstetrics, Orthopedics, Outpatient Experience, Patient Safety, Stroke Care and Women’s Services.

“Being treated with the proper level of care impacts your health, well-being and healing so our goal is to identify those hospitals that have demonstrated the highest level of quality care to their patients, with a special focus on the female experience.” said Passi. “Be informed and smart and Know Where To Go for the best health care because it can cost you your life! Go to the Women’s Choice Award website to become familiar with the Best Hospitals.”
