Riverside, CA – Riverside Community Hospital, an affiliate of HCA Healthcare, announced it is five-star rated for Treatment of Respiratory Failure and other specialties according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading marketplace connecting doctors and patients. These five-star ratings reflect Riverside Community Hospital’s dedication to delivering better-than-expected clinical outcomes for procedure and conditions and distinguishes Riverside Community Hospital as one of the nation’s leading hospitals for specialty care.
“Once again, we are redefining what it means to be a community hospital,” said Jackie Van Blaricum, Chief Executive Officer at Riverside Community Hospital. “Year after year, we are raising the bar for healthcare accessibility, quality and technology in the region.”
Healthgrades evaluated patient mortality and complication rates for 31 common conditions and procedures at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide to identify the top-performing hospitals for respiratory failure and all the other specialties Riverside Community Hospital earned five-star ratings for. This year’s analysis revealed significant variation in patient outcomes between five-star hospitals and one-star hospitals. From 2019 through 2021, if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals, on average, 201,586 lives could potentially have been saved, and 160,498 patients could have avoided potential complications. *
“We commend Riverside Community Hospital for their ongoing commitment to providing high-quality care to patients being treated for respiratory failure and patients undergoing life-saving procedures,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. “Consumers can feel confident that hospitals with five-star ratings by Healthgrades have demonstrated their ability to deliver consistently exceptional outcomes.”
