Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Recognized for Patient Safety

With a commitment to providing high-quality, safe patient care, Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Medical Center has been named to the Cal Hospital Compare 2024 Patient Safety Honor Roll.

The honor roll uses objective, publicly available patient safety measures to evaluate hospitals across a variety of domains, including hospital-acquired infections, adverse patient safety events, sepsis management, patient experience, and the Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Grade.

This year, 72 of the state’s 306 adult, acute-care hospitals made the honor roll. Kaiser Permanente Northern California had 10 hospitals on the list – representing 14% of the hospitals recognized.

“At Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa, our patients can expect the highest quality of care where their safety comes first,” said Abhishek Dosi, senior vice president and area manager of Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa. “It is a great honor to be named to the Cal Hospital Patient Safety Honor Roll and to be recognized among the top hospitals in the state. We applaud our team of nurses, physicians, and staff for their unwavering commitment to safety.”

Kaiser Permanente Northern California hospitals are consistently recognized as among the country’s best for outstanding patient safety, positive care outcomes, and exceptional patient-care experiences.

“This achievement is a testament to our entire team at Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa, where the safety of our patients is of utmost importance,” said Patricia Hiserote, DO, physician in chief at Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa. “We remain committed to outstanding patient safety and improving the health of our members and community.”

Hospitals on the honor roll had to meet a rigorous threshold of performance by having at least two-thirds of measure results above the 50th percentile and no measure result below the 10th percentile and/or an “A” grade in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for the past three reporting periods.

This honor roll offers Californians a rigorously evaluated list of hospitals that have consistently demonstrated a strong culture of safety across multiple departments, according to Cal Hospital Compare.
