Blue Distinction Centers When it comes to your health and healthcare, the choices you make matter. Blue Distinction Centers can help you and your doctor have a better informed discussion about finding the right hospital for the specific procedure you need. Blue Distinction Centers The Blue Distinction Center program was developed with input from the medical community and evaluates hospitals on their ability to deliver high quality and safe specialty care based on criteria that directly impact patient results e.g., surgical team expertise and a history of better outcomes for patients. Blue Distinction Centers+ Blue Distinction Centers+ not only meet the same quality criteria as Blue Distinction Centers, but they also go a step further. Hospitals receiving a Blue Distinction Center+ designation are also measured on how efficiently they deliver this high-quality patient care.
