Greenwich Hospital has been recognized as a top performer in the 2026 Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Ranking by Vizient. It is one of 135 hospitals nationwide recognized for excellence based on the Vizient Quality and Accountability Study.
“This reflects the extraordinary dedication of our physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers and staff who work together every day to deliver safe, compassionate and high-quality care,” said Karen Santucci, MD, interim president of Greenwich Hospital and professor of Pediatrics and of Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine. “This recognition is a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement and to ensuring the best possible outcomes and experience for every patient we serve.”
This year, 1,346 participating hospitals were segmented into seven cohorts for the Vizient Quality and Accountability Study. The study measures care quality in six domains: safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient centeredness and variation in care. The study factors in measures from the Vizient Clinical Data Base and includes performance data from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network.
The Vizient Quality and Accountability Study helps participating hospitals and health systems understand their performance against their peers and identifies structures and processes associated with high performance in quality and safety across a broad spectrum of patient care activity. The recognition period is for work spanning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
