Today, U.S. News & World Report presented its first-ever list of the “Best Regional Hospitals for Equitable Access” at The State of Equity in America meeting in Washington, DC. As the “global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice,” US News' analysis revealed 53 hospitals across 26 states serving socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Recognition was granted to the institutions that excelled in providing access to high-caliber care, resulting in exceptional patient outcomes. California ranked highest in number of hospitals that made the cut, with 7 recognized institutions, followed by 4 in North Carolina and 3 in Arizona, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, and South Carolina. Honing in on US cities with more than 1 hospital included, Baltimore, Detroit, St Louis, Tucson, and Tulsa each had 2 institutions listed. Midwest: Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and North Dakota Northeast: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania South: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, and Oregon #healthequity #besthospitals #equitableaccess #healthaccess

When health care systems focus on #QualityImprovement, they can create significant and positive change, from financial savings to, most importantly, saving patient lives. UHF and Greater New York Hospital Association’s Clinical Quality Fellowship Program (CQFP) teaches you the necessary skills to lead QI initiatives in your hospitals. #WhyCQFP 

What a great approach to sustainable care which will undoubtedly enhance healthcare access by integrating efficient, eco-friendly practices and technologies, reducing costs, and improving care delivery. This approach should ensure long-term health system viability, making quality care more accessible. We witnessed this in metro Atlanta several years back with similar merger’s.
