Sacred Heart hospital rank high in patient engagement

A new hospital study that examined patient engagement ranked Sacred Heart Health System’s three hospitals among the five best in the State of Florida.
 Becker’s Hospital Review worked with Axial Exchange to develop the 2014 Hospital Patient Engagement Rankings based on four factors: Readmission rates, patient satisfaction, patient education and community social media engagement.
Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast in Miramar Beach was ranked No. 1 in the state of Florida and No. 23 in the nation for patient engagement.
Sacred Heart Hospital Pensacola and Sacred Heart Hospital on the Gulf in Port St. Joe are ranked No. 3 and No. 5 out of a total of 160 Florida hospitals included in the study.
Becker’s Hospital Review defines patient engagement as the process by which patients become invested in their own health.
Health Systems that are ranked highly on the list provide patients with information and tools that support self care, have low 30-day readmission rates and have high patient-satisfaction scores.
The highest ranking hospitals also enable patients to have online interactions with the health system both through patient portals and through social media.
