100 Top Hospitals®:
National
Benchmarks for Success — 2005
Findings
For 13 years,
the 100 Top Hospitals have been setting standards for quality hospital care and financial performance in the United States. The 100 Top Hospitals have higher survival rates, keep more patients complication-free, and attract more patients-all while maintaining higher profits.
We estimate that if all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as those in the 100 Top Hospitals winners:
- An additional 106,312 patients would survive each year.
- More than 117,000 patient complications would be avoided annually.
- Expenses would decline by an aggregate $7.6+ billion a year.
- The average patient stay would decrease by more than half a day.
If the same standards were applied to all inpatients, the impact would be even greater.
In this year's study we also found that the 100 Top Hospital award winners:
- Can use positive reporting to report successes to their communities (we show you how!)
- Treat sicker patients in their emergency departments
- Have better patient safety, saving lives and dollars
