Eight Illinois Hospitals Named Among 100 Best in U.S. for 2016

A leading healthcare research firm has named eight hospitals in Illinois among the nation’s 100 best in 2016.

Truven Health Analytics’ annual “Top 100 Hospitals” study assessed nearly 3,000 short-term, acute-care hospitals in the U.S. by measuring a number of indicators related to patient care, operational efficiency, financial stability and patients’ perception of care.

The report compares hospitals to one another based on size and teaching status, making it “the only study of its kind that uses a proven national balanced scorecard.”

The highest honor a hospital can receive is the Everest Award, which distinguishes medical facilities that achieve both the best performance and quickest long-term improvement over five years. Only a handful of hospitals earned this accolade, one of which is in Illinois.

Here are the eight Illinois hospitals that received Truven’s Top 100 Hospitals award in 2016.
