Find the biggest cost savings and efficiencies
while never losing focus on quality improvement.
If all U.S. hospitals achieved current levels of benchmark performance, the industry could save at least $4 billion. We are dedicated to helping hospitals reach this goal.
Our 100 Top Hospitals® study evaluates and benchmarks how the nation’s leading hospitals set the bar for new levels in hospital performance. In fact, if all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as those in the 100 Top Hospitals:
- More than 107,500 additional patients would survive each year
- Nearly 132,000 patient complications would be avoided annually
- Expenses would decline by $713 per discharge
- The average patient stay would decrease by nearly half a day
Setting a new standard for transparency
Our most recent 100 Top Hospitals study evaluates quality and efficiency - across health systems. Published on August 10, the ground-breaking Health System Quality/Efficiency Benchmarks study highlights the relative level of care provided, and underscores the potential power of health systems to effect rapid change in quality.
