RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UNC REX Healthcare has been named one of the nation's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals by IBM Watson Health.
The report spotlights the top-performing cardiovascular hospitals in the U.S. based on a balanced scorecard of publicly available clinical, operational, financial and patient satisfaction scores and data.
"We are proud to earn this recognition, which reflects the dedication and compassion of our co-workers and physicians," said Ernie Bovio, President of UNC REX. "The North Carolina Heart & Vascular Hospital at UNC REX has quickly become known for providing excellent care for patients from across Eastern and Central North Carolina."
IBM Watson Health ranked heart hospitals based on measures such as mortality, complications, readmissions, length of stay, cost and other factors. The study uses data from Medicare and other sources. This year's study compared nearly 1,000 hospitals with cardiovascular service lines. This is the second straight year that UNC REX made the list.
According to IBM Watson Health estimates, if all cardiovascular hospitals in the U.S. performed at the level of this year's winners (based on Medicare patients only), they could save more than 11,000 additional lives, and save more than $1.5 billion annually.
