LINCOLN

iVantage Health Analytics and the National Organization of State Office

“The physicians, staff and volunteers at ALMH are committed to
providing the best possible care for our patients. While we are
honored by this recognition, we are humbled by the opportunity to
serve our community members and live our mission each day, improving
the health of the people and communities we serve,” said Dolan
Dalpoas, ALMH president and CEO.
The rankings have been determined by the Hospital Strength INDEX®,
the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural
hospital performance. In partnership with NOSORH, iVantage Health
Analytics has developed a data-driven program designed to identify
excellence across a broad spectrum of indicators relevant to
hospital performance and patient care. The Hospital Strength INDEX
captures performance metrics for all rural and Critical Access
Hospitals. Leveraging data from public data sources, INDEX
aggregates data from 66 individual metrics into three major
categories and nine pillars to derive a single strength overall
rating for each facility.

analysis and improvement. On this occasion of National Rural Health
