Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital in Hamilton finishes the year on a high note, with recognition for performance leadership in quality. It was announced that the hospital has been recognized by iVantage Health Analytics and the National Organization of State Office of Rural Health (NOSORH) for overall excellence in quality, reflecting top quartile performance among all acute care hospitals in the nation.
“I am proud of our medical staff and hospital employee,” said John Bartos, Chief Executive Officer at Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital. “The hospital employees, medical staff and board of directors formed a culture of excellence, which began with the hospital’s mission statement, ‘Our commitment to the Bitterroot Valley is quality, accessible, personalized healthcare.’ The team has not wavered from their mission and continues to not only deliver quality care on a daily basis; they are also devoted to providing compassionate care.”
The rankings have been designated by the Hospital Strength Index, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of hospital performance. In partnership with NOSORH, iVantage Health Analytics has developed a data-driven program designed to identify excellence across a broad spectrum of indicators relevant to hospital performance and patient care. The Hospital Strength Index captures performance metrics for more than 4,000 acute care hospitals, including over 1,300 rural and Critical Access Hospitals. Leveraging data from public data sources, Index aggregates data from 66 individual metrics into three major categories and 9 pillars to derive a single strength overall rating for each facility.
“Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital, along with the other top quartile performers, should take great pride in this recognition. It showcases their commitment to continuous performance analysis and improvement. It’s an honor to celebrate their achievement as they continue to provide excellent service to their communities,” said Michael Topchik, senior vice president of iVantage Health Analytics.
