 Based on the results of the Hospital Strength INDEX from iVantage
Health Analytics, the Performance Leadership Awards reflect top
quartile performance among all rural hospitals in the United States
in either Quality, Outcomes or Patient Perspective.
The Hospital Strength INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and
objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Leveraging data
from publicly available data sources, the INDEX aggregates data from
50 rural-relevant metrics across eight pillars of performance.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2020, the INDEX serves as the
data foundation for a number of industry-leading rural recognition
programs and legislative initiatives.
“National Rural Health Day has come to symbolize not just the vital
role healthcare providers play in rural communities, but the
dedication and hard work that goes into overcoming the unique
healthcare challenges that exist across rural America,” said Teryl
Eisinger, Chief Executive Officer, NOSORH. “We are proud of the work
of the State Offices of Rural Health, their partners and rural
hospitals do to improve care across the nation.”
“Each year, National Rural Health Day serves as a terrific backdrop
for celebrating the power of rural and recognizing rural providers
who continue to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to delivering
quality care within their communities,” said Michael Topchik,
National Leader, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “We are
delighted to be recognizing these top quartile performers in
partnership with NOSORH.”
