Iowa City-based University of Iowa Health Care is the most humanizing health system brand, according to branding agency Monigle.
Monigle ranked 209 health systems based on their ability to meet the "human needs and desires of their patients and communities in all types of physical, digital, and interpersonal experiences across their organizations," the agency told Becker's. The rankings correlate with patient satisfaction scores and market share growth, Monigle said.
The company factored in performance on 50-plus attributes — such as the quality of patient interactions, how the health system improves patients' lives, and "buzz" in the community — using online quantitative surveys of 26,450 household healthcare decision-makers.
