Livingston HealthCare today announced it has been named as one of the nation’s
HEALTHSTRONG Hospitals by iVantage Health Analytics.
The study and announcement of the 2015 HEALTHSTRONG Hospitals, including
Livingston HealthCare, highlights top performing hospitals as determined
through the Hospital Strength INDEX™. The annual INDEX study is
the industry’s most comprehensive rating system of hospitals and
the results recognize the top performing hospitals – measuring them
across 62 different performance metrics, including quality, outcomes,
patient perspective, affordability and efficiency.
“We are very proud to be recognized as a HEALTHSTRONG Hospital. This
recognition is a reflection of the work we have put into improving our
quality, performance, and satisfaction over the past few years. This award
is a great affirmation that are efforts are making a difference to the
hospital and the local community that we serve,” said Bren Lowe,
CEO of Livingston HealthCare.
This year 572 out of 4334 indexed hospitals demonstrated a sustained level
of performance above the benchmark and have been designated HEALTHSTRONG
hospitals. In Montana, 27% of hospitals achieved this prestigious recognition
and Livingston HealthCare was the second highest ranked Critical Access
Hospital in the state. Livingston HealthCare received a score of 94.3
out of 100, which places it in the top 6% of hospitals in the country.
“As the industry continues to evolve toward value-based delivery
models, the Hospital Strength INDEX provides a unique perspective into
how hospitals are responding to unprecedented change as well as advancing
toward the ultimate goal of higher quality care at lower cost,”
said Araby Thornewill, President of iVantage Health Analystics.
