Hoag Orthopedic Institute Receives Three Press Ganey Patient Experience Awards for 2021

Hoag Orthopedic Institute (HOI), one of the largest providers of orthopedic care in the nation, is pleased to announce it has received three Press Ganey Patient Experience awards for 2021, including, the Guardian of Excellence® for Patient Experience for the eighth consecutive year, the Pinnacle of Excellence® for Patient Experience in HCAHPS for maintaining consistently high levels of excellence over multiple years, and the Pinnacle of Excellence® for Patient Experience in “Inpatient” for maintaining consistently high levels of excellence over multiple years.

The Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award is a nationally recognized symbol of achievement in health care. Presented annually, the award honors clients who consistently sustained performance in the top 5% of all Press Ganey clients for each reporting period during the course of one year.

“We are honored to once again receive these distinguished awards from Press Ganey,” said Kim Mikes, CEO of HOI. “Patient experience is as equally important as high-quality clinical care in today’s health care environment.”

In 2019, Hoag Orthopedic Institute introduced its “HOI Signature Experience” initiative to enhance the experience for patients and visitors alike. HOI has some of the highest quality scores based on the most common reporting metrics but is focused on creating a truly unique experience for its patrons.

“HOI recognizes that patients have a choice in their health care, so we continue to focus on highly personalized and customized ways of enhancing their experiences,” added Mikes.

"Congratulations to Hoag Orthopedic Institute for receiving the Guardian of Excellence Award,” said Patrick T. Ryan, chairman and CEO of Press Ganey. “This honor reflects their unwavering commitment to improving the safety, quality, and experience of care. Their hard work and dedication are inspiring, and we are proud to partner with them on our shared mission to reduce patient suffering.”
