The Mount Sinai Hospital, including its Manhattan and Queens campuses, recently was named a 2014 Top Performer on Key Quality Measures® by The Joint Commission, the nation’s leading accreditor of health care organizations.

Mount Sinai was the only full-service hospital in Manhattan to achieve this distinction, which signifies its commitment to patient safety and quality-improvement outcomes.

The Top Performer on Key Quality Measures program is available to Joint Commission-accredited hospitals and is based on data reported in the previous year about evidence-based clinical processes for certain conditions that are closely linked to positive patient outcomes.

The Mount Sinai Hospital was recognized as a Top Performer in: Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Pneumonia, Surgical Care, Immunization, and Perinatal Care.

As a Top Performer, Mount Sinai was among 1,043 or 32 percent of Joint Commission-accredited hospitals to be included in its 2015 annual report, America’s Hospitals: Improving Quality and Safety. The annual report summarized data on 49 accountability measures reported by more than 3,300 hospitals in the United States.
