Quality Outcomes

Giving you the highest quality care is our first priority.

At Novant Health we support the nationwide effort to ensure that patients coming into the hospital with specific conditions receive recommended care based on medical research and consensus of opinion of physician experts.

When available, Novant Health facilities use nationally established benchmarks for comparison of outcomes at our facilities.  We are providing the following information about two procedures performed at Forsyth Medical Center and Presbyterian Medical Center: carotid artery stenting and aneurysm coiling as well as complications associated with these procedures.

A quality measure is medical information from patient recorded converted into a rate of percentage that shows how well hospitals care for their patients.  We encourage you to discuss  the benefits and risks of these procedures with your physician.
