Hospital involved in remarkable cure gets decoration (5)

I believe the answer is:

ruche

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'decoration' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'hospital involved in remarkable cure' is the wordplay.
'hospital' becomes 'h'.
'involved in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'remarkable' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cure' with letters rearranged gives 'ruce'.
'h' inserted within 'ruce' is 'RUCHE'.

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ruche that I've seen before include "Decorative pleated strip" , "decorated lawn?" , "Pleated gathering of fabric" , "Feature of fabric" , "fabric that's concertinaed" .)
