Temple University Hospital (TUH) – Main Campus has earned the Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP)’s 2025 Excellence in Patient Safety Recognition. The recognition honors Pennsylvania’s top-performing hospitals that have demonstrated low rates of health care-associated infections.
HAP is recognizing 22 hospitals this year based on their performance during 2024. HAP identifies top-performing hospitals using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network. To be recognized, hospitals must perform better than the mean standardized infection ratio in three key measures: central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and Clostridioides difficile infections.
“TUH-Main Campus is proud to be one of only 22 Pennsylvania hospitals recognized by HAP for going above and beyond to demonstrate a commitment to continuous quality and safety improvement and delivering low rates of healthcare-associated infections,” said Abhi Rastogi, MBA, MIS, Executive Vice President of Temple Health and President & CEO of Temple University Hospital Inc. “This recognition is a testament to our team and all they do to ensure our patients and communities receive the safest, highest-quality care.”
