Aurora, Colo. (March 7, 2017) \u2013 UCHealth\u2019s Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins and University of Colorado Hospital<\/a> in metro Denver have been named as three of the nation\u2019s 100 Top Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics.<\/p>\n

This is the first time MCR, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, has been recognized in the Truven Health 100 Top Hospitals study. PVH, on the other hand, has been recognized in the annual study 11 times since 1994. Only 17 hospitals in the nation have been recognized in the study more than 10 times so far. This is the fourth time UCH has been honored.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud of the dedication and passion of our nurses, physicians and staff for the extraordinary care they provide to every patient, every day,\u201d said Kevin Unger, president and CEO of MCR and PVH. \u201cThis recognition is especially rewarding because the extensive research behind it validates that our hospitals are doing all the right things to keep our patients safe and deliver excellent outcomes at a reasonable cost, all while providing the best patient experience possible as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UCHealth hospitals are among five Colorado hospitals recognized in the study, which was announced in Monday\u2019s edition of Modern Healthcare magazine. Also recognized this year is Steamboat Springs\u2019 Yampa Valley Medical Center, which is exploring a partnership with UCHealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cUniversity of Colorado Hospital is proud to be one of 15 major teaching hospitals that made the 100 Top Hospitals list,\u201d said Will Cook, president and CEO of UCH. \u201cThis recognition of UCHealth\u2019s academic research institution is a testament to our excellent providers and staff who are constantly focused on innovation, advanced care and providing the very best experience for our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Truven Health study is the most comprehensive, academically driven study of its kind. It evaluates clinical and operational performance in 11 areas: inpatient mortality, 30-day mortality rate, complications, core measures, readmission rate, average length of stay, emergency room throughput, inpatient expense per discharge, Medicare spend per beneficiary, operating profit margin and patient rating of overall hospital performance.<\/p>\n

The study shows that if all Medicare inpatients in the U.S. received the same level of care as those treated in the award-winning facilities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Nearly than 89,000 additional lives could be saved.<\/li>\n
  • More than 61,000 additional patients could be complication-free.<\/li>\n
  • More than $5.6 billion in inpatient costs could be saved.<\/li>\n
  • The average patient stay would decrease by half a day.<\/li>\n
  • More than 300,000 fewer discharged patients would be readmitted within 30 days.<\/li>\n
  • Patients would spend nine minutes less in hospital emergency departments per visit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u201cThe hospital industry\u2019s ongoing transition from fee-for-service to value-based care appears to be bearing some positive results for both patients and payers,\u201d said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president at Truven Health Analytics. \u201cThe magnitude of improvement we\u2019ve observed over the last five years is greater than any other five-year period we\u2019ve tracked. On top of that, this year\u2019s winners have reached new highs in performance in comparison to peers across the country, which suggests that improvement in value from hospitals is likely to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Approximately 2,740 short-term, acute care and non-federal hospitals across the nation were evaluated as part of the Truven Health study. Hospitals do not apply and winners do not pay to market their inclusion on the 100 Top Hospitals list.<\/p>\n
