Our Performance Improvement Leaders Study identifies hospital management teams that have led their organizations to achieve the fastest rate of consistent organizational improvement, based on objective national benchmarks.

Specific hospital results show how well ingrained a culture of performance improvement is by showing the direction and speed of change at the profiled hospital compared with peers nationally over five consecutive years (the current report includes data for federal fiscal years 2001 through 2005).

Hospital CEOs, medical staff leaders, and Boards using the 100 Top Hospitals Performance Improvement Leaders Report can:

• Appraise the likelihood of success in value-based purchasing programs
• Ask the right questions about alignment of organizational performance
• Measure the effectiveness of performance improvement programs
• Identify the areas where performance improvement has not yet taken hold
• Understand how the hospital's performance compares publicly to national peers

This report gives you five years of hospital-specific, trended data-displayed with full-color graphics for a complete picture of performance level, direction and slope. Also included is the study's abstract publication.
