To be considered for the HealthGrades’ Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence, Floyd Memorial Hospital had to earn HealthGrades 5-star ratings in at least 19 of the 26 HealthGrades procedures and diagnoses ratings.

For 2009, only 270 hospitals were designated as HealthGrades’ Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence. These hospitals exhibited lower risk-adjusted mortality and lower in-hospital complications than all other hospitals. HealthGrades’ star rating system tells consumers whether a particular hospital’s performance is “best” (5-star), “as expected” (3-star), or “poor” (1-star) on a particular procedure or diagnosis. Hospital ratings are based on patient outcomes, specifically on risk-adjusted mortality or complications.
