UCLA Medical Group Ranked One of State's Top Physician Organizations For Fourth Year in a Row

For the fourth year in a row, UCLA Medical Group has been rated one of California's top-performing physician organizations by the Integrated Healthcare Association. Rankings are based on important healthcare quality measures, including preventive care, chronic care management, patient satisfaction and use of information technology to support safer care.

"There is an intense national effort to begin providing and acting on the kind of care measures in which the UCLA Medical Group already excels. We are proud to continue to do as well for our patients as we have, and we continue to commit to be at the vanguard of this kind of activity," says Dr. Thomas E. Sibert, president of the UCLA Faculty Practice Group. "UCLA has been justifiably proud of its capacity to treat the most complex illnesses. We are also proud to be among the most proficient in the more usual types of care. It is very rare to be able to claim both."

According to the association, the top-performing physician groups are leaders in the use of evidence-based healthcare processes and health information technology that result in better care for patients.
