(Watertown) Watertown Regional Medical Centner was recently recognized for its quality. The hospital is one of only four of ScionHealth’s 85 facilities across 28 states to earn the Platinum Award, the top recognition attainable within the company’s National Quality Strategy.
The ScionHealth National Quality Strategy promotes best practices and measures the success of its hospitals’ quality performance over a 12-month period. The program – which launched in 2023 – enables and empowers hospitals to continuously improve patient care, safety, and satisfaction with an underlying goal of zero patient harm.
Watertown Regional Medical Center CEO Richard Keddington says to earn top honors in just the second year of the program is a great achievement for the hospital and a reflection of the commitment of their team to provide outstanding patient outcomes and experiences.
The hospital also received an ‘A’ grade for safety from the Leapfrog Group earlier this month.
