Lebanon
Crunching numbers from data sets tied to patient outcomes and experience, a group of leading experts named Mercy Hospital Lebanon to Forbes’ list of America’s Top Hospitals.
Forbes’ inaugural list evaluates acute care hospitals on health care quality measures like patient outcomes, patient experience, best practices and value.
“Our caregivers come to work every day with one goal: to provide exceptional, compassionate care to every patient we serve,” said Dr. John Mohart, Mercy’s executive vice president and chief operating officer. “Everyone at Mercy has a singular focus on our mission to deliver expert and compassionate care. We’re all pulling on the same rope, every day and every shift, and we’re thankful to see that recognized.”
Another seven Mercy facilities are also on the list: Mercy hospitals in Fort Smith and Northwest Arkansas from Arkansas, along with Carthage and St. Louis in Missouri and Ada, Ardmore and Oklahoma City in Oklahoma.
About Forbes’ Top Hospitals List
Forbes’ inaugural list of top hospitals uses a rating system produced by a panel of health care management experts, including clinicians and patient advocates. Partnering with a health care data and analytics firm, the magazine based its methodology on data from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Provider Data Catalog.
Patient outcomes like rates of mortality and infection are given the most weight in the calculations. Social drivers of health and other factors are used to adjust the numbers to provide a quality comparison that accounts for differences in locations and patient populations.
About 5,400 acute care hospitals were eligible for consideration, with about 2,500 ultimately meeting criteria for inclusion. Of those, 762 hospitals earned either four or five stars and made the Top Hospitals list.
