Saint Francis South 100 Top Hospitals

“We are incredibly honored with this recognition,” said Todd Schuster, president, Saint Francis Hospital South and Saint Francis Hospital Vinita. “This is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our exceptional staff, whose unwavering commitment to providing high-quality care and putting patients first has made this achievement possible. Their tireless efforts and unwavering dedication have made a difference in the lives of thousands of patients.”

To create the list, an objective, quantitative analysis of publicly available data was conducted to identify the top hospitals in the United States by PINC AI, the technology and service brand of Premier, Inc. The primary purpose of the 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 recipients do not pay to market their honor.

100 Top Hospitals® Program Performance

This year, based on comparisons between the study’s top performers and a peer group of similar hospitals, the analysis found that the top performers of the 100 Top Hospitals® program delivered better outcomes while operating more efficiently and at a lower cost. Compared to peer hospitals, this year’s top performers had:

• 39% fewer inpatient deaths than peer hospitals.
• 26.6% fewer patients with complications.
• 30.6% fewer healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
• A 21.1% lower inpatient expense 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 73% versus 67% for peer hospitals.

“Hospitals and health systems continue to recognize the vital importance of performance improvement for high-quality patient care, proving value and enabling the innovations that drive healthcare forward,” said Leigh Anderson, Premier’s Chief Operating Officer, and the leader of PINC AI™. “The transparent, non-biased and actionable data this study provides helps leaders make informed decisions for change and proves that Saint Francis Hospital South excels across a range of core performance indicators, which can directly lead to significantly higher quality patient outcomes, with fewer readmissions and complications.”
