WARRENTON — Novant Health UVA Health System’s Prince William and Haymarket Medical Centers have been recognized by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association.
Both medical centers received Gold Plus Quality Recognition in the Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure.
The award recognizes the hospitals’ commitment to ensuring heart failure patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally-recognized, research-based guidelines founded on the latest scientific evidence.
The goal is speeding recovery and reducing hospital readmissions.
To earn the award, Prince William Medical Center and Haymarket Medical Center met specific quality achievement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure patients at a set level for a designated period.
These measures include evaluation of the proper use of medications and aggressive risk-reduction therapies.
Before discharge, patients also receive education on managing their overall health, get a follow-up visit scheduled, as well as other care transition interventions.
Prince William Medical Center is also recognized on the American Heart Association’s Target: Heart Failure (SM) Honor Roll.
The honor roll includes a select group of hospitals that have met specific criteria that improves medication adherence, provides easy follow-up care and coordination, and enhances patient education.
In addition, Prince William Medical Center received the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines Target-Stroke® Honor Roll Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award.
To earn this award, the hospital successfully demonstrated its commitment to provide stroke patients with appropriate treatment aligned with nationally-recognized, research-based guidelines founded on current scientific evidence.
Specifically, Prince William Medical Center met quality measures developed to reduce the time between the patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment.
