Salt Lake City – Truven Health Analytics has released its list of the “100 Top Hospitals” for 2015 and five Intermountain Healthcare hospitals were named to the list. Included are McKay-Dee Hospital, LDS Hospital, Logan Regional Hospital, Riverton Hospital, and Valley View Medical Center.
Having five Intermountain Healthcare hospitals included on this list of the nation’s top 100 is a significant accomplishment. Only one other health system in the U.S. had five hospitals recognized.
The Truven Health 100 Top Hospitals study asserts it is “the most comprehensive, rigorous study of its kind, incorporating public data; proprietary, risk-adjusted and peer-reviewed methodologies; and key performance metrics to arrive at an objective balanced scorecard measuring current performance and long-term improvement. It evaluates performance in 11 areas: mortality; medical complications; patient safety; average patient stay; expenses; profitability; patient satisfaction; adherence to clinical standards of care; and post-discharge mortality and readmissions rates for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
The 100 Top Hospitals are not ranked, but are listed alphabetically in one of five categories: Major Teaching Hospitals (15 hospitals), Teaching Hospitals (25), Large Community Hospitals (20), Medium Community Hospitals (20), and Small Community Hospitals (20).
