Jefferson Hospital issued the following announcement on Mar. 1.
Jefferson Hospital has been identified as one of the Top 20 Rural and Community Hospitals (PPS hospitals) in America based on the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health. Jefferson Hospital is proud of the efforts of our providers and staff who have contributed to our hospital achieving this designation. Our recognition as a top health care provider means our community can count on us to deliver the services they need now and in the future.
The hospitals are identified using the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX, the most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural PPS hospital performance. The determining factors for the top 20 rural and community hospitals are based on eight indices: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge, and financial efficiency.
