HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital among the nation's top 5% for patient safety.

HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital has been recognized as a 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award™ recipient by Healthgrades. The achievement reflects the hospital’s commitment to safe, patient care and puts the organization in the top five percent of hospitals nationwide for patient safety. The hospital has earned this distinction seven years in a row. (2019-2025)

To determine the top-performing hospitals, Healthgrades evaluated risk-adjusted complication and mortality rates for approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide. The analysis showed significant gaps between the highest- and lowest-achieving facilities. From 2021-2023, 173,280 preventable safety events occurred among Medicare patients in U.S. hospitals. The annual study found that patients treated in hospitals that received the 2025 Patient Safety Excellence Award have a significantly lower chance of experiencing one of the four leading safety indicators than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals:

• In-hospital falls resulting in fracture -54% less likely
• Collapsed lung due to a procedure or surgery in or around the chest-approximately 55% less likely
• Pressure sores or bed sores acquired in the hospital-approximately 69% less likely
• Catheter-related bloodstream infections acquired in the hospital-72% less likely

In addition to this recognition for patient safety, HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital was recently named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for orthopedic surgery, joint replacement and prostate surgeries and numerous other accolades based on its exceptional performance in cardiac, orthopedics, critical care and surgical care.
