Findings

Management teams at the Performance Improvement Leader hospitals are setting the standard for performance improvement by saving more lives, discharging patients faster and with fewer complications, and maintaining efficiency with lower costs.

Specifically, the typical Performance Improvement Leaders made the following gains between 1997 and 2001:

  • Discharged patients nearly a day earlier
  • Decreased their average expenses, while their peers increased theirs
  • Increased their profit margin substantially -- from 0.58 to 2.73%
  • Lowered their mortality index from 1.21 to 0.91
