Garnet Health Medical Center Named A Healthgrades Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Pneumonia, Sepsis, Pulmonary Embolism and Respiratory Failure

Garnet Health Medical Center, formerly Orange Regional Medical Center, is 5-star rated for Pneumonia for five years, Sepsis for four years, Respiratory failure for four years and Pulmonary Embolism outcomes for two years according to new research released by Healthgrades, the leading resource that connects consumers, physicians and health systems.

 “These Healthgrades 5-star ratings for our Intensive Care treatment shows that we are committed to the community we serve,” said Scott Batulis, Chief Executive Officer of Garnet Health. “Congratulations to our physicians, and our clinical and support staff for their dedication to delivering exceptional healthcare.”

Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 31 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions.

This analysis shows that patients treated at hospitals receiving a 5-star rating have a lower risk of mortality and a lower risk of experiencing one or more complications during a hospital stay than if they were treated at hospitals receiving a 1-star rating in that procedure or condition. 
Additionally, from 2018-2020, patients treated for Pneumonia in hospitals with 5-stars for in-hospital mortality have, on average 74.9% lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals with 1-star for in-house mortality.* Similarly, patients treated for Sepsis in hospitals with 1-star for in-hospital mortality are, on average, 1.6 times more likely to die than if they were treated in hospitals with 5-stars for in-hospital mortality. Furthermore, patients treated for Pulmonary Embolism in hospitals with 5-stars for in-hospital mortality have, on average 77.4% lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals with 1-star for in-house mortality. Patients treated for Respiratory Failure in hospitals with 1-star for in-hospital mortality are, on average, 2 times more likely to die than if they were treated in hospitals with 5-stars for in-hospital mortality.
