From approximately 2,900 hospitals nationwide, The Joint Commission recently recognized 405 hospitals as Top Performers on Key Quality Measures. In contrast, out of the 66 hospitals Health Management operates in the U.S., nearly 60 percent are top performing hospitals – well above national quality performance.

“Today, the public expects transparency in the reporting of performance at the hospitals where they receive care, and The Joint Commission is shining a light on the top performing hospitals that have achieved excellence on a number of vital measures of quality of care,” said Mark R. Chassin, MD, FACP, MPP, MPH, President of The Joint Commission.
