100 TOP HOSPITALS®:

Based on Patient Outcomes, Not Popularity

Premier’s 100 Top Hospitals® program is an unbiased, transparent approach to determine the top performing hospitals and health systems. The goal of the 100 Top Hospitals® program is to inspire hospital and health system leaders to strive for higher performance and provide added value to the patients and communities they serve.

Being recognized as a top performing hospital reflects excellence in leadership and governance from every person in the organization. No other ranking program provides as detailed insights, national benchmarks or trend reports as the 100 Top Hospitals® program. And, unlike any other healthcare ranking system, health systems never pay-to-play as our program is strictly based on performance.

WHAT IF EVERY HOSPITAL WAS A 100 TOP HOSPITAL®?

If the 100 Top Hospitals® benchmark was achieved by all hospitals in the U.S., the following would be true for the Medicare population. Imagine if the impact applied to all hospitals and populations.

Over 331,000 additional lives could have been saved.

Over 611,000 additional patients could have been complication-free.

Over $15.1 billion in inpatient costs could have been saved.

The typical patient could be released from the hospital a half day sooner.

Over 13,000 fewer discharged patients would be readmitted within 30 days.
