What does it means to be a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence?
“This esteemed distinction is the result of Elmbrook Memorial’s medical staff and associates’ commitment to clinical excellence and service to people. Their contributions to high quality patient care and outcomes are second to none and have earned them this honor.”

- To achieve the honor of being a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence, a hospital must rank at or above the top 5% nationally for three consistent years in all 26 of the most common surgical procedures and diagnoses reviewed by HealthGrades®.
- Compared to 5,000 other hospitals, Elmbrook Memorial consistently produced patient outcomes above the national average to a statistically significant degree.
- Elmbrook Memorial was only one of four hospitals in Wisconsin in 2010 to achieve this high level of clinical excellence and one of only 269 nationally.
- Patients treated at a hospital receiving the Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical ExcellenceTM are, on average, 29% less likely to face in-hospital mortality and 9% less likely to suffer from an in-hospital complication than those treated at other hospitals.
- Staff at hospitals receiving the Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical ExcellenceTM consistently perform better across all procedures and diagnoses studied. This means less mortality and fewer post-operative complications. In short: Better Quality Outcomes.
