Presby wins national honor

UPMC Presbyterian Hospital has been named a 2001 Consumer Choice Award winner by the National Research Corporation. It is the third year in a row that the hospital has been named to the list.

The award placed UPMC Presbyterian among the nation's top 122 hospitals consumers chose as having the highest quality and best image in 100 metropolitan areas throughout the United States.

Each year the National Research Corporation, which measures health care performance, honors the U.S. hospitals most preferred by consumers for overall health care services. The award is based on a national survey of more than 150,000 households.

According to the National Research Corporation, the consumer assessment is the most comprehensive in the industry by taking into account physician and hospital satisfaction assessments, hospital image and preference ratings, health plan, health status and chronic condition profiles and consumer trust and confidence in health care.

The winners of the award were announced in the September 24 issue of Modern Healthcare Magazine.
