This marks the second consecutive year and fourth time since 2012 that St. Clair has won this prestigious honor. The 100 Top Hospitals award is the culmination of an annual study by IBM Watson Health that identifies top performing hospitals in the country based on overall organizational performance. The study spotlights the best-performing hospitals in the U.S. based on a balanced scorecard of publicly available clinical, operational and patient satisfaction metrics and data. Hospitals do not apply or pay for this honor and all acute care hospitals in the U.S. are evaluated for potential inclusion. The study has been conducted annually since 1993. “At a time when research shows that the U.S. spends nearly twice as much on health care as other high-income countries, yet has less effective population health outcomes, the 100 Top Hospitals are setting a different example by delivering consistently better care at a lower cost,” said Ekta Punwani, 100 Top Hospitals program leader at IBM Watson Health. “This prestigious award affirms St. Clair Hospital’s commitment to providing world-class health care to our patients and is a reflection of how dedicated our board, medical staff, employees and volunteers are to serving the community,” said John T. Sullivan, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, St. Clair Hospital. IBM Watson Health noted that if all Medicare patients received the same level of care as those treated at the 100 Top Hospitals: • More than 103,000 additional lives could be saved in-hospital; • More than 38,000 additional patients could be complication free; • More than $8.2 billion in inpatient costs could be saved; and • Approximately 155,000 fewer discharged patients would be readmitted within 30 days. If the same standards were applied to all in-patients, not just Medicare patients, the impact would be even greater. The announcement continues a period in which St. Clair Hospital has garnered multiple national recognitions, including: • A 5-star quality rating, the highest rating available, by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This was the only 5-star rating awarded in western Pennsylvania and places St. Clair among the top 6.4 percent in the nation to receive it; • An “A” Grade for Patient Safety by the Leapfrog Group for 6+ consecutive years, placing St. Clair in the top two percent of hospitals nationwide; • Rated Best for Medical, Surgical and Overall Hospital Care in western Pennsylvania by Quantros CareChex; • Recognized as a national leader in patient satisfaction by multiple independent third-party evaluators; • Winner of the HIMSS Davies Award, the nation’s highest honor for the use of information technology to improve patient outcomes and value; • Winner of the Innovator Award from the American Hospital Association for co-development of Patient Estimates, the nation’s first interactive cost transparency tool; and • Selected for inclusion in the prestigious Mayo Clinic Care Network, exclusive in western Pennsylvania. Joining St. Clair on the 2019 list are such notable institutions as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Los Angeles); Mayo Clinic Hospital (Jacksonville); NorthShore University Health System (Evanston); and The Miriam Hospital (Providence), the principal teaching affiliate of Brown University. 30 • Allegheny West Magazine • July/August 2019Being Stacy’s hospital is our most prestigious award. 100 Top Hospitals® is a registered trademark of IBM Watson Health™ 1000 BOWER HILL ROAD • MT.
