SMH named to top 100 Rural and Community Hospitals list
SHERIDAN — Sheridan Memorial Hospital was recognized as one of the top 100 Rural and Community Hospitals in the country for 2020, according to the Chartis Center for Rural Health.
More than 800 hospitals were included in the study. The list is developed using the Hospital Strength INDEX, which assesses performance utilizing 37 independent indicators across eight pillars of performance including inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charges and finance.
According to the Chartis Group website, hospitals making the list serve as a benchmark for other rural facilities. The website states that “amidst uncertainty, transition and strain, these top performers are excelling in increasing patient satisfaction, securing better outcomes for patients, managing risk, achieving higher quality and operating at a lower cost than their peers.”
