HAYSMED
Hospital leaders are proud to announce that HaysMed has been recognized as one of the leading hospitals for quality, nationwide. HaysMed has been named a top performer in the 2023 Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Ranking by Vizient, Inc.
This award celebrates HaysMed as one of 181 hospitals in the country in Vizient’s Complex Care Medical Center cohort, and one of only 20 hospitals within that cohort to receive the top performer designation. The prestigious honors acknowledges HaysMed excellence in high-quality care based on the Vizient Quality and Accountability Study, conducted annually since 2005.
“It’s humbling to be in the company of such outstanding peers, yet we’re proud to know our focus on our patients and providing highly specialized care across western Kansas continues to be recognized nationally,” said Eddie Herrman, president and chief executive officer at HaysMed. “It’s all part of our commitment to those we serve, and to improving healthcare in every community.”
This year, 784 participating hospitals were divided into four cohorts for the Vizient Quality and Accountability Ranking. The ranking measured performance on the quality of patient care in safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient-centeredness and equity. The ranking factors include performance data from the HCAHPS survey and the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network.
“HaysMed has demonstrated high level commitment to the continuous improvement that is necessary to succeed in today’s evolving healthcare environment,” said David Levine, group senior vice president, advanced analytics and data science for Vizient. “The annual ranking leverages a unique, comprehensive and timely metrics-based methodology to recognize hospitals that achieve results on key measures that define quality patient care and delivery.
"Congratulations, HaysMed, on this prestigious honor.”
