Reston Hospital Center Honored For Excellence In Women’s Care

RESTON, VA — Healthgrades recently honored Reston Hospital Center with its Labor and Delivery Excellence Award and the Obstetrics and Gynecology Excellence Award. This is the third consecutive year Reston Hospital Center received both awards.

The Labor and Delivery Excellence Award places Reston Hospital Center in the top 10 percent of all hospitals evaluated by Healthgrades, an online resource for information about physicians and hospitals. It recognizes the hospital for the exceptional care of mothers during and after labor and delivery.

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Excellence Award achievement recognizes the hospital for exceptional clinical outcomes while caring for women during labor and immediately after delivery of their newborn, as well as women undergoing gynecologic procedures, according to a release.

“This recognition reinforces the efforts our women’s care team put forth in providing excellent care for every patient, every day,” Irene Williford, chief nursing officer of Reston Hospital Center, said in a release. “It also highlights our ongoing drive to achieve our mission -- above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life,”

To determine hospital rankings, Healthgrades analyzed patient outcome data for virtually every hospital in each of the 15 states that provide all-payer state data for the period of time between 2015 and 2017. During this time, if all hospitals analyzed performed similarly to those receiving the 2019 Obstetrics and Gynecology Excellence Award, complications could have potentially been avoided for 119,203 patients.

Additionally during the two year period, patients treated in hospitals receiving the Obstetrics and Gynecology Excellence Award had, on average, a 33.4 percent lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award, according to Healthgrades.
