Eight Utah Intermountain Health hospitals have been recognized as top performing facilities by providing the highest level of care for patients.
Vizient, a leading health care performance improvement company, ranked the Intermountain hospitals as top health care performers in their annual Quality and Accountability Study, which looked at data from 860 hospitals and measured their quality of patient care based on six factors: safety, effectiveness, mortality, efficiency, patient centeredness, and equity.
The top performing Intermountain hospitals are:
- Intermountain Medical Center in Murray
- Intermountain Utah Valley Hospital in Provo
- Intermountain Cedar City Hospital
- Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden
- Intermountain Alta View Hospital in Sandy
- Intermountain Riverton Hospital
- Intermountain Layton Hospital
- Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital
A top performer designation in the Vizient study reflects a hospital’s excellence in delivering high-quality care. Intermountain facilities were ranked high in three of the four categories.
“At Intermountain Health we improve care by using data to identify and implement medical practices that help patients live the healthiest lives possible,” said Rob Allen, president and CEO of Intermountain. “Having eight of our hospitals rank so high on the Vizient list validates the outstanding care provided by our caregivers.”
Vizient ranked Intermountain St. George Regional Hospitals as No. 1 in the nation for large medical centers that provide specialized complex care. Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden ranked 12th and Intermountain Utah Valley Hospital in Provo ranked 14th in the same category.
For the category of top performing comprehensive academic medical centers, Intermountain Medical Center in Murray ranked 5th on the national list.
