HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: HCA), one of the nation’s leading healthcare providers, today announced that 32 of its hospitals have been recognized on the 2023 Fortune/PINC AI 100 Top Hospitals list for excellence in patient outcomes and experience, operational efficiency, financial health and community impact. The esteemed list aims to inspire hospital and health system leaders to strive for higher performance and provide added value to the patients and communities they serve.
“We are incredibly proud of our colleagues and caregivers for their dedication to excellence, which has earned more than 30 of our hospitals a spot on the 100 Top Hospitals list,” said Dr. Michael Cuffe, executive vice president and chief clinical officer of HCA Healthcare. “This honor recognizes HCA Healthcare’s steadfast commitment to providing our patients with high-quality care.”
According to Fortune/PINC AI, this year’s 100 Top Hospitals study used a balanced scorecard approach focused on clinical, operational, financial, and patient perception to evaluate 2,644 short-term, acute care, non-federal U.S. hospitals. Unlike ranking programs that require hospitals to apply for evaluation, the program is strictly based on performance and publicly available data, including Medicare reports and patient satisfaction data.
In comparison to other hospitals, the study found the top 100 hospitals had better outcomes, including lower mortality rates, fewer complications, lower healthcare associated infection rates and shorter lengths of stay.
In addition to scoring among the top 100, 18 HCA Healthcare hospitals received the Everest Award for setting national benchmarks for the fastest, most consistent improvement rates and highest current year performance. This additional distinction recognizes the dedication of the boards, executives and medical staff leaders who developed and executed the strategies that helped drive the highest rates of performance improvement over the five-year period measured in the study.
