SOUTH KINGSTOWN – South County Hospital received the 2016 Women’s Choice Award for outstanding care in obstetrics for the second consecutive year. This designation identifies the country’s best health care institutions based on patient satisfaction, clinical excellence, quality of care and what women say they want from a hospital.
“South County Hospital’s recognition as a Women’s Choice Hospital for obstetrics is a reflection of the high level of patient satisfaction, quality and personalized care we strive to provide each woman,” said Dr. Lisa Rameaka, medical director of the Women’s Health Service Line at South County Hospital. “New moms have many choices when it comes to receiving obstetrical care, and we’re fortunate that we’re a trusted name. Together, the doctors, the staff and the hospital all work to create an exceptional experience for women.”
This year, Women & Infants Hospital was the state’s only other hospital that received the 2016 Women’s Choice Award for outstanding obstetrics care. The America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics scoring process is unique, as the only national list focusing on female patient satisfaction. The hospitals that qualify for this highly selective designation provide an exceptional level of obstetric services. Scoring is based on patient recommendation scores, as provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys, as well as an analysis that identifies criteria most important to women’s patient satisfaction.
