A new study by IBM Watson Health names six Intermountain Healthcare facilities to its annual list of Top 100 Hospitals. The study is based off publicly available data and is meant to serve as a blueprint for hospitals around the country to aspire to in the future. The Intermountain hospitals on this year’s list include:
- Alta View Hospital
- McKay-Dee Hospital
- Logan Regional Hospital
- Cedar City Hospital
- Utah Valley Hospital
- American Fork Hospital
The annual study has been looking at healthcare data for 27 years to demonstrate quality care and operations efficiency can be achieved simultaneously thereby improving care to a community. More than 2,600 hospitals were a part of this year’s study and results showed hospitals who made the list had better survival rates, lower inpatient expenses, and shorter lengths of stay among other benefits.
“It’s an honor to see both larger and smaller Intermountain hospitals on the list,” says Rob Allen, chief operating officer. “This highlights our approach to provide consistent high-quality care, outcomes, and experience whenever and wherever patients come to us for services. Data is key to how our teams align across the system to track and measure continuous improvement in healthcare outcomes, value, and affordability for our patients and communities. We seek opportunities to both learn from and share our insights and successes with other health systems.”
