[May 11, 2016]  LINCOLN - Once again, Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln, Illinois has been named one of iVantage Health Analytics’ Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) in the United States. This is the third time that Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital has earned Top 100 designation.

“ALMH is proud of the efforts of our physicians, staff, and volunteers who have contributed to our achieving this designation,” said Dolan Dalpoas, ALMH president and CEO.
Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital scored in the top 100 of Critical Access Hospitals on iVantage’s Hospital Strength INDEX®. The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive rating of rural and Critical Access Hospitals. The results recognize that the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals provide a safety net to communities across rural America – measuring them across more than 70 different performance metrics, including quality, outcomes, patient perspective, affordability, population risk and efficiency.

 

The list of the top 100 Critical Access Hospitals and more information about the study can be found at www.iVantageINDEX.com.

“Rural healthcare deserves the same performance analysis as all provider performance. It plays a vital role for communities across America, serving more than 60 million people. The services provided in rural America are similar to those needed in any major metropolitan area, yet the volumes and economic resources provide little economies of scale, making for little benefit from scale. These top 100 Critical Access Hospitals exhibit a focused concern for their community benefits and needs, regardless of scale, reimbursement and people’s ability to pay,” said Michael Topchik, senior vice president of iVantage Health Analytics.

Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital is located at 200 Stahlhut Drive in Lincoln, Illinois. ALMH is an affiliate of Memorial Health System. For more information, visit www.ALMH.org or call 217-732-2161.
