AdventHealth Murray was identified as one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals® according to an independent quality analysis provided by PINC AI™ and reported by Fortune. The hospital was named to the 20 Top Small Community Hospitals list, which is part of the 100 Top Hospitals list.
To create the list, an objective, quantitative analysis of publicly available data was conducted to identify the top hospitals in the United States. The primary purpose of the PINC AI™ 100 Top Hospitals® program is to inspire hospital and health system leaders to pursue higher performance and deliver added value to patients and communities. The program leverages transparent, nonbiased data to help inform strategies for sustained performance. Organizations do not apply to participate in the study, and award winners do not pay to market their honor.
The hospitals named to this list outperformed their peers on all measures, which include patient outcomes and experience, operational efficiency, financial health, and community impact.
This year, based on comparisons between the study winners and a peer group of similar hospitals that were not winners, the analysis found that the winners of the 100 Top Hospitals® program delivered better outcomes while operating more efficiently and at a lower cost. Compared to non-winning hospitals, this year’s winners had:
• 31 percent fewer deaths than non-winning hospitals.
• 9 percent fewer patients with complications.
• 39 percent fewer healthcare associated infections (HAIs).
• Nearly 20 percent lower inpatient expenses per discharge.
• 0.5-day shorter average length of stay.
• Better reported patient experience scores, with a top-box Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) score of 77 percent versus 70 percent for non-winning hospitals.
AdventHealth Murray has maintained a 5-star rating from CMS for the past three years and this year was named a Leap Frog Top Hospital for its clinical excellence and patient care.
“We are honored to be named as a 100 Top Hospital this year. Our team works tirelessly to adhere to evidence-based best practices to care for our patients and community,” said Donny Abraham, vice president and administrator of AdventHealth Murray.
