Hospital remains tops in clinical excellence

For the eighth consecutive year, Boca Raton Regional Hospital was named as a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence by HealthGrades, the country’s top independent health-care ratings organization.

The distinction puts the hospital among the top 5 percent of hospitals in the nation for its clinical performance.

HealthGrades Hospital Quality and Clinical Excellence study, released in January, identifies hospitals with the best overall clinical performance across 26 medical diagnoses and procedures that the organization rates.
