\nTo create the list, an objective, quantitative analysis of publicly available data was conducted to identify the top cardiovascular hospitals in the United States. The primary purpose of Premier\u2019s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals program is to inspire hospital and health system leaders to pursue higher performance and deliver added value to patients and communities. Organizations do not apply to participate in the study, and award winners do not pay to market their honor.<\/p>\n
Performance of Facilities on Premier\u2019s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals<\/b>Program List<\/b><\/p>\n
\nThis year, based on comparisons between the study\u2019s top performers<\/a> and a peer group of similar hospitals, the analysis found that the 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals delivered better outcomes while operating more efficiently and up to nearly $7,000 less in total costs per patient case. Compared to their peers, this year\u2019s top performers had:<\/p>\n \nThese outcomes add up to meaningful differences. According to the study\u2019s analysis, if all hospitals operated at the level of this year\u2019s top performers, there could potentially be 14,000 fewer deaths due to heart disease, 28,600 fewer bypass and angioplasty patients who suffer complications, and more than $1.5 billion in inpatient costs saved for the 2025 study year.<\/p>\n \nThis analysis is based on Medicare patients included in this study. If the same standards were applied to all inpatients, the impact could have been even greater.<\/p>\n \n\u201cHeart disease is America\u2019s leading cause of death, affecting roughly 127.9 million Americans and costing about $252 billion,\u201d said David Zito, Premier\u2019s President, Performance Services. \u201cAs hospitals and health systems strive for continuous improvement in cardiovascular care, data-driven insights and transformational strategies are vital for ensuring patient-centric care aligned with optimized financial and operational performance. Premier\u2019s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals program helps hospitals evaluate national cardiovascular disease trends and develop strategies to deliver targeted, evidence-based care.\u201d<\/p>\n Methodology for the Rankings<\/b><\/p>\n\n
