GREENWICH, CT (September 28, 2026) – Greenwich Hospital has been recognized as a top performer in the 2026 Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Ranking by Vizient®. It is one of 135 hospitals nationwide recognized for demonstrating excellence in delivering high-quality care based on the Vizient Quality and Accountability Study.
“This recognition reflects the extraordinary dedication of our physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers and staff who work together every day to deliver safe, compassionate and high-quality care,” said Karen Santucci, MD, interim president of Greenwich Hospital. “Being recognized among the nation’s top-performing hospitals is a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement and to ensuring the best possible outcomes and experience for every patient we serve.”
This year, 1,346 participating hospitals were segmented into seven cohorts for the Vizient Quality and Accountability Study. The study measures performance on the quality of patient care in six domains: safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient centeredness and variation in care. The study factors in measures from the Vizient Clinical Data Base and includes performance data from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey and the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network.
The Vizient Quality and Accountability Study helps participating hospitals and health systems understand their performance against their peers and identifies structures and processes associated with high performance in quality and safety across a broad spectrum of patient care activity. The recognition period is for work spanning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
“Delivering consistently high-quality care requires organizations to align clinical expertise, operational discipline and a continuous focus on improvement,” said David Levine, MD, chief medical officer, Vizient. “The hospitals recognized this year demonstrate what is possible when that commitment is embedded across the organization, resulting in better performance and, most importantly, better care for patients.”
