PINC AI™, the technology and services brand of Premier, Inc.
(NASDAQ: PINC), today announced the nation’s 15 Top Health
Systems™. The list of recognized health systems for the 16th
consecutive year was published in an exclusive online article by
Fortune.
Premier’s PINC AI™ 15 Top Health Systems™ Annual Report includes
a comprehensive analysis of the data supporting the top performers.
Based on the data analyzed, it is estimated that if all health
systems performed at the same level of this year’s top performers,
more than 220,000 additional lives could have been saved and more
than 196,000 additional patients could have been complication free
for the 2024 report year.
15 Top Health Systems™ Performance
To create the list, an objective, quantitative analysis of
publicly available data was conducted to identify the top health
systems in the U.S. The primary purpose of the PINC AI™ 15 Top
Health Systems™ Annual Report is to inspire hospital and health
system leaders to pursue higher performance and deliver added value
to their patients and communities.
For the 16th year in a row, the quantitative Annual Report is
based on a balanced scorecard which consists of a variety of
measurements distributed across four pillars: clinical outcomes,
extended outcomes, operational and patient experience. Health
systems neither apply to participate nor opt in or out of the
annual report, and award recipients do not pay to market their
honor. Data leveraged by the annual report is made publicly
available to increase transparency of performance for all health
systems.
The highest-performing health systems in the 2024 report year
had, compared to peer health systems:
- 21 percent fewer inpatient deaths than peer health
systems.
- 13.8 percent fewer patients with complications.
- 21 percent fewer healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
- 0.5-day shorter average length of stay.
- Better reported patient experience scores, with a top-box
Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
(HCAHPS) score of 73 percent versus 67 percent for peer health
systems.
The annual report is more than a list of accomplishments – it is
a method that the U.S. health system leaders can use to help guide
their own performance initiatives and identify areas for
improvement. By highlighting key metrics and areas of success for
the highest-performing health systems around the country, PINC AI™
helps create aspirational benchmarks for the industry.
“Health systems understand the importance of innovative
leadership and data-driven strategies for performance improvement
and overall success,” said Michael J. Alkire, Premier’s President
and CEO. “Premier applauds these 15 Top Health Systems™ for their
accomplishment and demonstrated success in positively impacting the
patient experience, enterprise operations and clinical outcomes for
the patients and communities they serve.”
The 15 Top Health Systems™ Annual Report aligns with existing
PINC AI™ solutions. It provides an objective measure of health
system performance overall and offers insight into the ability of a
system’s member hospitals to deliver consistent top performance
across the communities they serve, all based on a national health
system scorecard. No other ranking program provides as detailed
insights, national benchmarks and trend reports as the 15 Top
Health Systems™ Annual Report.
Rankings Methodology
The 15 Top Health Systems™ quantitative Annual Report is based
on clinical outcomes, extended outcomes, operational and patient
experience measures that form a balanced scorecard. The data for
this Annual Report primarily came from Medicare Provider Analysis
and Review (MEDPAR) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) Care Compare data sets. For complete details, please
review the Annual Report here.
The scorecard results are divided into two separate sections
that graphically illustrate:
- A health system’s performance and improvement versus other peer
health systems in the study.
- Cross-system performance alignment of system hospitals.
The Annual Report is designed to provide a view of health system
performance across multiple dimensions: how they stand compared to
peers and high performers (whole-system performance), where they
stand in the evolution of their own cultures of performance
improvement (relative long-term improvement and rate of
improvement), and the achievement of cross-system performance
alignment (system hospital performance). For performance measure
details and definitions of each comparison group, see the 100 Top
Hospitals® Program Methodology Guide document.
Benchmark health systems are determined based on their final
scorecard performance. To account for differences in scale among
health systems, the report categorizes health systems into three
groups: large, medium and small health systems.
