Prime Healthcare Hospitals Named Among the Nation's 100 Top Hospitals by IBM Watson Health, Two Receive Everest Award

The following Prime Healthcare hospitals have been honored multiple times as among the best hospitals in the nation:

East Liverpool City Hospital in East Liverpool, OH, a second-time honoree and recipient of the Everest Award for the second year in a row.

"At a time when research shows that the U.S. spends nearly twice as much on healthcare as other high-income countries, yet still has poorer population health outcomes, the 100 Top Hospitals are bucking the trend by delivering consistently better care at a lower cost," said Ekta Punwani, 100 Top Hospitals® program leader at IBM Watson Health.

"The hospitals on this list represent the current vanguard in value-based care and we applaud their commitment to quality."

The Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals® study uses independent and objective research to analyze hospital and health system performance in 10 clinical and operational areas addressing: risk-adjusted inpatient mortality index, risk-adjusted complications index, mean healthcare-associated infection index, mean 30-day risk-adjusted mortality rate, mean 30-day risk-adjusted readmission rate, severity-adjusted length of stay, mean emergency department throughput, case mix- and wage-adjusted inpatient expense per discharge, adjusted operating profit margin, and HCAHPS score (patient rating of overall hospital performance).

"Achieving 100 Top Hospital status multiple times is an incredible feat and is made possible by consistent dedication and collaboration among all health care providers to deliver the highest quality of care and customer experience."
