Shepherd Center - A Catastrophic Care Hospital

Our Quality Scorecard

Shepherd Center believes that people should have as much accurate information as possible to make informed decisions about their healthcare. One way to facilitate that is to publicly post and report how Shepherd Center rates on a range of quality standards and benchmarks.

That’s why we created an “outcomes scorecard” and posted it online so that you easily access our outcomes data. Our hope is that this data will help families, referral sources and the medical community make more informed decisions about the care of their loved ones and patients.

We also created an "outcomes scorecard" targeted specifically for young stroke patients.  Click on the image below to view our young stroke outcomes scorecard, or simply click here >>

Patient Safety

Shepherd Center strives for excellence in patient safety. That is why we are proud to present the results of a recent survey conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) that measures the culture of patient safety in hospitals across the nation.

The 2008 AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture is a staff survey designed to help hospitals assess the quality of care and culture of safety in their institutions. Hundreds of hospitals across the U.S. and internationally have implemented the survey since 2004 when it began.

The chart below compares Shepherd Center to other hospitals who agreed to participate in the survey in the state of Georgia, the South Atlantic region, and the nation.
