Three Alegent Health hospitals are on a top 100 list of hospitals providing a good value to patients.
The list is based on an analysis of the value of care at hospitals nationally. The list is from Data Advantage, a health care information company in Nashville.
The analysis considers such factors as the prices that hospitals charge, patient safety and patient satisfaction.
Alegent hospitals in the top 100 were: Immanuel Medical Center in Omaha, Midlands Hospital in Papillion and Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs.
Other Nebraska and Iowa hospitals in the top 100 included Nebraska Heart Hospital in Lincoln and St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa. — Michael O’Connor

Hospital Value Index: Top 100 Best in Value ™ Hospitals Released
100 Top Best in Value(TM) Hospitals
Hospitals in New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Alabama and North Carolina cited the most
(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) ‐ Data Advantage, LLC announced today the Top 100 Hospital: Best in Value Hospitals™ list from the 2009‐2010 Hospital Value Index™, the first and only national study on U.S. hospitals and the value of care they provide.
The hospitals in the Top 100 list represent nearly every state in the U.S. The states with the most hospitals achieving Top 100 Best in Value™ recognition were: New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Alabama and North Carolina.
“These are the hospitals that set the bar for the nation when it comes to value. If every hospital performed at the level of the Top 100, we found that more than $60 billion per year could be saved,” said Hal Andrews, CEO of Data Advantage.
“The Hospital Value Index™ winners are a geographically diverse group of hospitals that have a proven ability to deliver high value care to their communities and represent a model of care that other U.S. hospitals should look to,” added Andrews. “As legislators consider health reform, we believe that it will be increasingly important to recognize and reward those hospitals that deliver outstanding value.”
These results are part of the findings from the 2009‐2010 Hospital Value Index™ study, an analysis of the value of care provided at more than 4,500 U.S. hospitals. As part of the release, Data Advantage is inviting hospitals and healthcare leaders to participate in the Voices of Value™ Summit, which will take place in Chicago December 7‐9. Industry leaders will convene at the Westin Chicago River North and discuss topics such as value, affordability, efficiency and patient satisfaction.
