“In achieving certification, Englewood Hospital and Medical Center has demonstrated a commitment to providing an outstanding patient experience,” according to J.D. Power and Associates.
The service excellence distinction was determined by surveying recently discharged patients from Englewood Hospital and Medical Center about their perceptions of their hospital visit and comparing the results to the national benchmarks established in the annual J.D. Power and Associates National Hospital Service Performance Study SM.
The telephone-based research conducted among Englewood Hospital and Medical Center patients focuses on the five key drivers of patient satisfaction with their overall experience. These drivers, which were identified in the national study, are speed and efficiency; dignity and respect; comfort; information and communication; and emotional support.
