The Joint Commission today named 118 hospitals affiliated with
Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) as 2014 Top Performers
on Key Quality Measures®.
Only 1,043 – or approximately one-third – of eligible United
States hospitals were included on the annual list published by the
Joint Commission, the leading accrediting agency for healthcare
organizations. Top Performers were recognized for improving
performance on evidence-based interventions shown to increase the
chances of healthy outcomes for patients with certain conditions,
including heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, surgical care,
children’s asthma, inpatient psychiatric services, stroke, venous
thromboembolism, perinatal care, immunization, tobacco treatment
and substance abuse.
Of the 118 CHS-affiliated hospitals recognized this year, 101
have appeared on the list more than once. Twenty-five
CHS-affiliated hospitals have achieved the recognition for the five
consecutive years it has been awarded, out of 117 hospitals
nationwide to do so.
“Being named a Top Performer is the result of all physicians,
nurses and caregivers in a hospital following established
evidence-based practices that improve outcomes for their patients,”
said Wayne T. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of
Community Health Systems, Inc. “We congratulate all recipient
hospitals for their achievement and commend them for their work to
enhance the delivery of quality care.”
Top Performers were required to meet three stringent performance
criteria based on 2014 accountability measure data, according to
the Joint Commission:
- Achieve cumulative performance of 95
percent or above across all reported accountability measures;
- Achieve performance of 95 percent or
above on each and every reported accountability measure with at
least 30 denominator cases; and
- Have at least one core measure set that
had a composite rate of 95 percent or above, and within that
measure set, achieve a performance rate of 95 percent or above on
all applicable individual accountability measures.
