What makes us different?
100 SafeCare Hospitals® is not an award.
It a distinction from The SafeCare Group based on holistic, evidence-based metrics and reflect a balanced Scorecard of high performing hospitals having low rates of infections, complications, readmissions, costs, and high patient satisfaction.
The 100 SafeCare Hospitals listing is truly disruptive to the healthcare status quo. Hospitals that performed poorly on these evidence-based metrics receive a financial penalty from the CMS.

our methodology
To produce a meaningful ranking of US hospitals, The SafeCare Group® looked to existing law for guidance of a comprehensive framework for the 100 SafeCare Hospitals®. The distinguished medical and legal experts who designed, developed, and implemented The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005 and The Affordable Care Act believed that a listing of high performing hospitals in the areas of low rates of infections, complications, and readmissions would promote strong incentives to improve health care.
These metrics subsequently became part of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) hospitals pay-for-performance programs. The SafeCare Group® adopted this framework for the 100 SafeCare Hospitals® methodology, as it represented holistic, evidence-based metrics and reflect a Balanced Scorecard of low rates of infections, complications, and readmissions. Hospitals that performed poorly on these evidence-based metrics receive a financial penalty from the CMS.
We believe that these listings would incentivize doctors, nurses and hospitals to improve care and reduce unnecessary errors that harm patients.
