Swedish Covenant Hospital is a comprehensive health care facility providing health and wellness services in Chicago, Illinois. As an academic and community hospital, Swedish Covenant Hospital offers a full range of medical programs, including cancer, cardiac, surgical, women's health and emergency services. Swedish Covenant Hospital is one of the few independent, nonprofit hospitals in Chicago.〔 〕 The hospital is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program. In 2004, Swedish Covenant Hospital became Chicago’s only member of the Planetree Alliance, an organization that develops and implements guidelines for patient-centered care. The hospital maintained its membership until 2009, making it the longest running affiliate in Illinois. Of 5,000 Planetree-affiliated US hospitals, only 125 have committed fully to the Planetree philosophy of treating the whole patient—body, mind and spirit. In 2009, Forbes Magazine recognized Swedish Covenant Hospital in its list of “America’s Safest Hospitals.” According to Forbes, Swedish Covenant Hospital was designated as a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence by HealthGrades.〔 〕 In the same year, Swedish Covenant Hospital was also listed on the Best Hospitals in America by U.S. News & World Report. NBC 5 Chicago deemed Swedish Covenant Hospital as a “hospital of the 21st century” in regard to their implementation of electronic medical records over the last 20 years.〔 Due to this implementation, Swedish Covenant Hospital has demonstrated a yearly reduction of ER wait time since 2006. In 2012, a lawsuit was filed against Swedish Covenant that garnered national attention after the Associated Press reported on the lawsuit. The suit alleges that the hospital failed to meet its mission by not providing adequate free and reduced cost care to two low-income uninsured patients. In March 2014 Swedish Covenant Hospital became affiliated with the St. George's University of London for clinical rotations. ==Basic Information== * 323 licensed beds〔 * 2,200 full-time staff〔 * 550 physicians〔 * 250 volunteers〔 * 16,162 admissions〔 * 2,915 obstetrical services〔 * 46,145 emergency treatments〔 * 14,012 surgical procedures〔 * 260,730 outpatient visits〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swedish Covenant Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
