Healthgrades evaluated 3,449 hospitals that submitted at least 100 patient experience surveys to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Of those hospitals evaluated, 434 of them outperformed their peers—based on patient experience responses—to achieve this distinction.

The survey questions focused on patients’ perspectives of their care in the hospital. The topics of these questions range from cleanliness and noise levels in patient rooms to physician and nurse communication. The measures also include whether a patient would recommend the hospital to friends or family.

“We are very proud to receive this award,” said Katie Farrell, chief administrative officer, Abington – Lansdale Hospital. “Our staff is committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of care and the most positive experience possible when they choose Abington – Lansdale Hospital for their care.
