RHI Clinical Outcomes

At RHI, we don't rest when we find a measure that reflects our success - we actively look for ways to continue to improve our cardiac care. From open-heart surgery to minimally invasive procedures, our commitment to your health is our primary goal here at The Rochester Heart Institute.

So, no matter what type of cardiac care your heart needs, RHI provides many of the most sophisticated technology and procedures available. This means quicker recovery times, shorter hospital stays, fewer hospital visits, a better outcome, and ultimately - better health. And that's the kind of excellence in clinical outcomes that you and your family can rely on.

How We Assess the Quality of Our Cardiac Care in Clinical Outcomes

There isn’t one, single agreed upon method to measure quality. So how do we measure ourselves? Experts agree that using information from several objective resources help our patients learn which facilities consistently outperform and provide the best possible cardiac care. Based on all of the available data, the Rochester Heart Institute is the region's heart care leader, offering the best survival and complication rates in the region – that’s our measure for the quality of care we offer you.
