The Safety Across the Board Excellence Award recognizes exceptional performance and participation in reducing adverse events and readmissions. Of 109 participating Pennsylvania hospitals, only 26 hospitals received the Safety Across the Board Excellence Award. It is part of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Partnership for Patients initiative, which aims to improve quality, safety and affordability of healthcare in America. To earn this award, BRMC had to meet or exceed target goals on at least two-thirds of 11 adverse event areas.
