Listen to this articleThree local hospitals are among 29 recognized by The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) for outstanding performance in patient safety.
Now in its fifth year, HAP’s Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition program honors Pennsylvania’s top-performing hospitals that have demonstrated low rates of health care-associated infections.
The 2023 honorees were selected based on their performance during 2022.
“HAP is proud to recognize the hospital teams with exemplary results from their efforts to continuously improve the quality and safety of patient care,” HAP President and CEO Nicole Stallings said. “This year, more hospitals met the criteria to be recognized than any other year since this program began. This speaks to the Pennsylvania hospital community’s strong commitment to patient safety.”
The local 2023 Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition recipients are Lancaster General Hospital, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and UPMC Harrisburg.
HAP identifies top-performing hospitals using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network.
