Truven Health Analytics, a healthcare data and analytics solutions provider, has released its ninth annual list of the nation's 15 top health systems.
To identify the top 15 health systems in the nation, Truven analyzed data from 337 health systems based on the following five performance domains: inpatient outcomes, process of care, extended outcomes, efficiency, and patient experience.
When compared to their peers, this year's top 15 health systems achieved higher survival rates, released patients from the hospital sooner, had fewer readmissions, shorter emergency department wait times and higher patient satisfaction scores, according to Truven Health.
