Vizient has recognized 83 academic medical centers and community hospitals for outstanding clinical quality and performance.
The member-driven healthcare performance improvement company issued its latest round of awards and recognition to hospitals and health systems across four cohorts: comprehensive academic medical centers, large specialized complex care medical centers, complex care medical centers, and community hospitals. Cohorts are defined based on specific patient volume metrics.
The distinguished Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Award was given to recipients who excelled in six critical domains of patient care: safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient-centeredness, and equity. Vizient's assessment of member performance is based on its annual Quality and Accountability Study, which has been conducted since 2005.
