Paradise Valley Hospital announced today that it is a recipient of the
Healthgrades 2019 Patient Safety Excellence AwardTM. This distinction places Paradise Valley among the top 5% of all short-term

“We are proud to recognize the recipients of the 2019 Healthgrades

that are preventing the occurrence of serious, potentially avoidable complications,
for patients during their hospital stay,” said Brad Bowman, MD,
Chief Medical Officer, Healthgrades. “We applaud these hospitals
and their commitment to providing the best possible care for every patient.”
During the study period (2015 to 2017), Healthgrades 2019 Patient Safety

in safety provided for patients in the Medicare population, as measured
by objective outcomes (risk-adjusted patient safety indicator rates) for
14 patient safety indicators defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ).
“Paradise Valley Hospital has a culture of patient safety that permeates
every facet of our organization, and this is reflected in the care we

explains recently-returned CEO, Neerav Jadeja. “I’m proud
to say that we’re no stranger to the Healthgrades Patient Safety
Award, and I’m grateful that Healthgrades recognizes the hard work
and expertise of our physicians, nurses and staff.”
