"iVantage seeks to help hospitals achieve their mission by conducting this type of research," said John Morrow, Executive Vice President of iVantage Health Analytics, Inc. "The Index and analyses reveal that geographic variation, population health and superior performance are interrelated, and that they can result in lower cost, better outcomes and healthier communities nationwide. The savings to the Medicare program alone are impressive and worthy of recognition by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation."
The Hospital Strength Index™, a national ratings and analytics program developed by iVantage Health Analytics®, ranks all 4,400+ U.S. general acute care hospitals. The Index is based on eight performance pillars comprised of 56 different performance metrics.
