A study of 101 of the nation’s top academic medical centers lists the University of Kansas Hospital as number two in the country in patient safety and quality of care. K-U Hospital president and CEO Bob Page says the rankings by the University Healthsytem Consortium are based on six measures established by the Institute of Medicine.
Page says the importance of the ranking is that it indicates that patient care at the K-U Hospital rivals that provided anywhere in the country. The K-U Hospital ranked number two once before, in 2009, and has been in the top five in three of the last five years.
