100 SafeCare Hospitals Sarju Bharucha, JD, Editor-in-Chief SafeCare Magazine is proud to honour our 100 SafeCare Hospitals. For the fifth year in a row, The SafeCare Group® has published the 100 SafeCare Hospitals® listings. The 100 SafeCare Hospitals is truly disruptive to the healthcare status quo, supporting improvements in healthcare quality through disruptive, yet holistic metrics of HRRP, HVBP, and HACRP. The listing is based upon performance in the comprehensive, evidence-based metrics of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) value-based program (HVBP), readmissions reduction program (HRRP), and acquired complications reduction program (HACRP). Only about two percent of all US hospitals earn 100 SafeCare Hospitals® distinction. In other words, 100 SafeCare Hospitals are 100 hospitals with low infections, low complications, low readmissions, high patient satisfaction, and high value!
