 “This achievement is very gratifying and validates our daily
commitment to providing the best health care possible to our
community, while maintaining an efficient and effective facility,”
said Dolan Dalpoas, ALMH president and CEO.
Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital scored in the top 100 of Critical
Access Hospitals on iVantage Health Analytics’ Hospital Strength
INDEX®. The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive rating of
rural providers. It provides the data foundation for the annual
Rural Relevance Study and its results are the basis for many of
rural healthcare’s most prominent awards, advocacy efforts and
legislative initiatives. The list of the Top 100 Critical Access
Hospitals and more information about the study can be found at
www.iVantageINDEX.com.
 The Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals play a key role in providing a
safety net to communities across America – and the INDEX measures
them across eight pillars of hospital strength: Inpatient Share
Ranking, Outpatient Share Ranking, Cost, Charge, Quality, Outcomes,
Patient Perspectives, and Financial Stability.
“It’s more important than ever that rural hospitals proactively
understand and address performance in the areas of cost, quality,
outcomes and patient perspective. iVantage’s INDEX was designed to
serve as this industry model,” said Michael Topchik, national leader
of the Chartis Center for Rural Health. “Across the spectrum of
performance indicators, there are rural providers that are writing
the blueprint for success as they transition to value-based
healthcare. Our analysis shows that this group of top performers
exhibits a focused concern for their community needs.” About
