"Across our Sutter Health network, we want every single patient's care–whether received in one of our hospitals, a physician's office, over the telephone, or in the patient's home–to be the absolute best," said Gordon Hunt, M.D., chief medical officer for Sutter Health. "As part of this steadfast commitment, we routinely participate in quality surveys such as CHART. Doing so helps our hospitals identify opportunities to improve care, increase safety and provide better outcomes for patients in our communities."
"Sutter Health believes that patients who are informed can take a more active role in their care. That's why we take part in quality surveys such as CHART and were among the first health systems in California to make critical quality data available to everyone online," said Gordon Hunt, M.D., chief medical officer for Sutter Health. "We've pulled back the curtain to show consumers exactly where we're performing well and where we need to improve in nationally recognized measures of quality for certain medical conditions."
