100 Top Hospitals®:
National
Benchmarks for Success — 2003
Findings
For
11 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 hold down expenses—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:
- An additional 94,794 patients would survive each year.
- More than 77,420 patient complications would be avoided annually.
- Expenses would decline by an aggregate $8.8+ billion a year.
If the same standards were applied to all inpatients, the impact would be even greater.
In this year's study abstract we also:
- Reveal
our groundbreaking analysis—proving that the 100 Top Hospitals
are more likely to use hospice care
- Educate
hospital leaders on how to use positive reporting—both inside
the hospital and with the community—to complement traditional
epidemiological benchmarking techniques
- Highlight long-term performance trends for both the 100 Top benchmark hospitals and their peers.
- Detail how the 100 Top Hospitals performed nationally, regionally, within their comparison groups, and compared with their peers.
