| Waukesha Memorial Hospital Named Top 100 in Nation |

Waukesha Memorial Hospital has been named one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals® by Thomson Reuters in the teaching hospitals category. The annual award recognizes hospitals that have achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient satisfaction, financial performance and operational efficiency.
"We've received numerous recognitions for specific areas of excellence, but this award recognizes the full range of capability of our physicians and staff throughout Waukesha Memorial Hospital," said Ed Olson, CEO of Waukesha Memorial Hospital. "This award acknowledges the top level of performance in everything we do, from our high quality of care to the great value we provide to patients and our community."
The 2008 winners were identified through an in-depth analysis, the Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals®: National Benchmarks study. The study is based on objective statistical performance of 3,000 hospitals in nine key areas: patient satisfaction, adherence to clinical standards of care, patient safety, average length of stay, expenses, profitability, cash-to-debt ratio, mortality and medical complications.
"The 100 Top Hospitals winners raised the bar again this year, delivering a higher level of reliable care and greater value for their communities," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and 100 Top Hospitals programs at Thomson Reuters.
If all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as Medicare patients treated in the winning hospitals
* More than 107,500 additional patients would survive
each year
* Nearly 132,000 patient complications would be
avoided annually
* Expenses would decline by $5.9 billion a year.
* The average patient stay would decrease by nearly
half a day |
