Thomson Reuters Announces 100 Top Hospitals Award Winners for 2011
Last month, the 2011 Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals award winners list was released. This year’s winners where chosen from nearly 3,000 U.S. hospitals and award-winning facilities which demonstrated that high-quality patient outcomes can be achieved while improving efficiency. The article accompanying the 100 Top Hospitals list includes new research and an analysis of regional performance, including five-year trends. Thomson Reuters found that all hospitals have made noteworthy improvements in mortality, core measures, and length of stay. Hospitals in the Midwest continue to dominate their winners’ list, with half of all winners located in the Midwest census region.
