Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center was named one of the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals in the United States in 2017 by iVantage Health Analytics and The Chartis Center for Rural Health.
HRRMC scored in the top 100 of Critical Access Hospitals on iVantage Health Analytics’ Hospital Strength INDEX®. The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive rating of rural providers. It provides the basis for many of rural healthcare’s most prominent awards, advocacy efforts and legislative initiatives.
“I am proud to be part of a hospital that strives to provide the highest level of care and service,” said hospital CEO Bob Morasko. “As HRRMC continues to grow, we look forward to offering our community the best in rural healthcare in the future.”
The hospitals named to the Top 100 list are top performers in managing risk, achieving higher quality, securing better outcomes, increasing patient satisfaction and operating at a lower cost than their peers. HRRMC was one of only three Critical Access Hospitals in Colorado named to the list.
“It’s more important than ever that rural hospitals proactively understand and address performance in the areas of cost, quality, outcomes and patient perspective. iVantage’s INDEX was designed to serve as this industry model,” said Michael Topchik, national leader of the Chartis Center for Rural Health. “Across the spectrum of performance indicators, there are rural providers that are writing the blueprint for success as they transition to value-based healthcare. Our analysis shows that this group of top performers exhibits a focused concern for their community needs.”
