Based on the results of this year’s study, if all Medicare inpatients received the same level of

care as those treated in the award-winning facilities:

• Nearly 89,000 additional lives could be saved

• Over 61,000 additional patients could be complication-free

• Over $5.6 billion in inpatient costs could be saved

• The average patient stay would decrease by half a day

• Over 300,000 fewer discharged patients would be readmitted within 30 days

• Patients would spend nine minutes less in hospital emergency departments per

visit.

“The hospital industry’s ongoing transition from fee-for-service to value-based care appears to

be bearing some positive results for both patients and payers,” said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice

president at Truven Health Analytics. “The magnitude of improvement we’ve observed over the

last five years is greater than any other five-year period we’ve tracked. On top of that, this year’s

winners have reached new highs in performance in comparison to peers across the country,

which suggests that improvement in value from hospitals is likely to continue.” The winning

hospitals were announced in the March 6th edition of Modern Healthcare magazine.

The Truven Health 100 Top Hospitals® study identifies hospitals and leadership teams that

provide the highest level of value to their communities, based on a national balanced scorecard.

The 100 Top Hospitals balanced scorecard measures hospital performance across 10 areas:

mortality; inpatient complications; patient safety; average patient stay; expenses; profitability;

patient satisfaction; adherence to clinical standards of care; and post-discharge mortality and

readmission rates for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure, and pneumonia.

The study has been conducted annually since 1993.
