Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara listed among world's best hospitals

Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center is once again being recognized as one of the
best hospitals in the world, according to Newsweek magazine’s list of the
“World’s Best Hospitals 2023”.

Newsweek ranked more than 2,300 hospitals in 28 countries. Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara
is ranked 131st out of the more than 400 hospitals in the United States that
made the global list, and among the top 40 hospitals in California.

This is the fifth consecutive year Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara has been recognized as a
world-class hospital for providing high-quality patient care and service. The
medical center also was recognized as one of the best hospitals for preventing
infections.

“This is an incredible achievement and a testament to the commitment of our physicians,
nurses and staff who continually provide our patients and members with the
high-quality, compassionate care they deserve,” said Eric Williams, senior vice
president and area manager for Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara. “We strive to put
our patients’ well-being at the center of everything we do.”

Hospitals were ranked based on expert feedback
from tens of thousands of medical professionals from around the globe. The
ranking also factors in results from patient surveys and patient satisfaction
scores, as well as key medical performance indicators such as risk-adjusted
mortality, readmission rates, and timeliness of care.

“We are proud of our team of care providers who provide world-class treatment to our
patients,” said Rakesh Chaudhary, MD, physician in chief Kaiser Permanente
Santa Clara. “We focus every day on making sure we are meeting our patients’
needs and providing them with high-quality, exceptional care and service.”

Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara was also listed
among the “Best Hospitals for Infection Prevention.” U.S. hospitals received
this recognition if they performed above the national average on six different
measures. Those measures include preventing infections caused by
catheter-associated urinary tract infections, central line associated
bloodstream infections, C. diff, MRSA bacteria and surgical site infections.
