The "Certificate of Excellence" recognizes that the winning hospital achieved above average or superior scores in five of the eight CHART measurements, did not receive any "below average" or "poor" score on any measure, and reported data for all of the measurements for which they qualify.

Sutter Roseville Medical Center received excellent ratings in several areas including quality of care for surgical patients and high ratings for patient satisfaction for maternity patients.

"We are committed to providing the highest levels of quality care to our patients," said Patrick R. Brady, CEO, Sutter Roseville Medical Center. "We continually work together to provide proven and documented best practices that lead to better, safer, care."

Data collected by CHART is available as a user-friendly, online report card at www.CalHospitalCompare.org. Published by the California HealthCare Foundation, the free service allows consumers to search for hospitals by location, name, or medical condition. Hospitals are ranked on 50 "performance indicators," including common reasons for admissions such as cardiac care, maternity services and treatment for pneumonia. Patient experience data also is included. Data is voluntarily submitted by participating hospitals. The not-for-profit Sutter Health network has participated on the CHART Steering Committee since its inception in 2004.
