SMC named to Top 20 list
Posted on: 3/22/19
Stillwater Medical Center has been named by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) as one of the 20 highest-ranked prospective payment system (PPS) hospitals in the country. The list is based on an evaluation by The Chartis Center for Rural Health using iVantage Health Analytics’ Hospital Strength Index.
The determining factors for the top 20 rural community hospitals were based on eight indices: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge, and financial stability. These rural community hospitals will be recognized in an awards ceremony during NRHA’s Rural Hospital Innovation Summit May 9 in Atlanta.
