Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute
2009-2010 Quality Report
Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute's inaugural quality report, detailing the quality and range of clinical care available at Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend.
High points of the 2009-2010 Quality Report include:
- National recognition. In 2009, OHVI's cardiothoracic surgery program received a prestigious "3 star" rating from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Only 11.7 percent of 960 eligible hospitals received the rating, which denotes the highest category of quality.
- Dramatic improvements in treating AMI patients. At 2.06 percent, Sacred Heart's heart attack mortality rate is now among the very best in the country. Our mortality rate is roughly half that predicted for our population by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and about a quarter of what it was six years ago.
