New Hanover Regional Medical Center was recently named a recipient of the Women’s Choice Award as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience.

The evidence-based award is determined by Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) data along with research about women’s healthcare preferences, according to a news release.

“This award highlights the dedication of our physicians, nurses, staff and volunteers in ensuring our patients receive exceptional care throughout their treatment,” John Gizdic, NHRMC president and CEO, said in a news release.

America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience is a national list focused on female patient satisfaction and recommendation scores. Scores are determined by measures of effective communication with nurses and doctors, responsiveness, pain management, explanations of medications, cleanliness and patient recommendation ratings.

NHRMC is one of 400 award recipients representing hospitals that have met the highest standards for patient experience in the U.S. by the Women’s Choice Award, the release stated.
