For the third year in a row, PCMH was named a Top 20 Critical Access Hospital in America, by the National Rural Health Association. “We are very proud to achieve this significant accomplishment.  This recognition is a reflection of the efforts of our staff, medical staff and care partners on their commitment to improve health and provide an exceptional experience for our patients and members,” said Justin Selle, CEO.

The Top 20 Critical Access Hospital “winners” are those hospitals who have achieved success in the overall performance based on a composite rating from nine indices of strength: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, population risk, cost, charge, quality, outcomes, patient perspectives, and financial stability. This group was selected from iVantage’s Top 100 CAH list, released earlier this year.

PCMH has been recognized as Top 20 Critical Access Hospital “best practice recipients- in Quality” by achieving success in the area of performance:

Quality index: A rating of hospital performance based on the percentile rank across the five categories of Hospital Compare Process of Care measures.

The results recognize that the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals provide a safety net to communities across rural America measuring them across 62 different performance metrics, including quality, outcomes, patient perspective, affordability, populations risk and efficiency.  The list of the top 100 Critical Access Hospital and more information about the study can be found at www.iVantageHealth.com
