NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (March 30, 2009) – Saint Thomas Hospital has been named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals by Thomson Reuters Healthcare. This is the eighth time Saint Thomas Hospital has earned this distinction.
The Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals®: National Benchmarks study is based on the 100 Top Hospitals National Balanced Scorecard that evaluates performance in nine areas: mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average length of stay, expenses, profitability, cash-to-debt ratio, patient satisfaction, and adherence to clinical standards of care. The study has been conducted annually since 1993.
"Being named a 100 Top Hospital honors the dedication of our physicians and associates who deliver safe and quality patient centered-care each day," said Les Donahue, President and CEO, Saint Thomas Hospital. "It is our mission to improve the lives and health status of our community."
To conduct the 100 Top Hospitals study, Thomson Reuters researchers evaluated 3,000 short-term, acute care, non-federal hospitals. They used public information - Medicare cost reports, Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data, and core measures and patient satisfaction data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare data set.
"The 100 Top Hospitals winners raised the bar again this year, delivering a higher level of reliable care and greater value for their communities and payers," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement, 100 Top Hospitals programs at Thomson Reuters. |
