Quality Care
Frederick Health maintains a focus on delivering quality care, leading to the achievement of numerous accreditations and recognition, including:
- The Center for Breast Care has earned a three-year accreditation from a prestigious independent review board, the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).
- National BlueCross BlueShield Association, Blue Distinction Center of Excellence for Hip & Knee Surgery.
Frederick Health’s mission is to positively impact the health and well-being of every individual in our community. To ensure that we meet this goal, our dedicated doctors, nurses, and staff constantly review our practices and performance. This allows us to focus on continuous improvement and quality care.
Many healthcare quality-reporting agencies share our outcome and quality data online. Understanding how these ratings relate to your specific healthcare needs can be difficult.
So how can you use this information?
We encourage you to discuss this information with your healthcare provider. Talk to your friends and family about their experiences. This type of conversation will help you identify the data that matters to you.
