Premier, Inc. (NASDAQ: PINC), today announced the nation’s 50
Top Cardiovascular Hospitals® with the full list of
recognized hospitals published in Fortune®.
To create the list, an objective, quantitative analysis of
publicly available data was conducted to identify the top
cardiovascular hospitals in the United States. The primary purpose
of Premier’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals program is to inspire
hospital and health system leaders to pursue higher performance and
deliver added value to patients and communities. Organizations do
not apply to participate in the study, and award winners do not pay
to market their honor.
Performance of Facilities on Premier’s 50 Top Cardiovascular
Hospitals Program List
This year, based on comparisons between the study’s top
performers and a peer group of similar hospitals, the analysis
found that the 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals delivered better
outcomes while operating more efficiently and up to nearly $7,000
less in total costs per patient case. Compared to their peers, this
year’s top performers had:
- 25 percent fewer acute myocardial infarction (AMI) deaths and
66 percent fewer coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
deaths.
- 30 percent fewer percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and
19 percent fewer CABG patients with complications.
- Higher 30-day survival rates for acute myocardial infarction
(AMI), heart failure (HF) and CABG patients (0.4 to 1.2 percentage
points higher).
- Lower 30-day readmission rates for AMI, HF and CABG patients
(0.2 to 0.5 percentage points lower).
- Shorter average lengths of stay between patient groups – 0.5
for AMI, 0.4 for HF, 0.3 for PCI and one full day for CABG.
- $1,386 to $6,974 less in total costs per patient case (the
smallest dollar-amount difference was for HF and the largest was
for CABG).
- A better patient experience at top performing hospitals
compared to the remaining peer hospitals, with a top-box Hospital
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS)
score of 72 percent versus 68 percent.
These outcomes add up to meaningful differences. According to
the study’s analysis, if all hospitals operated at the level of
this year’s top performers, there could potentially be 14,000 fewer
deaths due to heart disease, 28,600 fewer bypass and angioplasty
patients who suffer complications, and more than $1.5 billion in
inpatient costs saved for the 2025 study year.
This analysis is based on Medicare patients included in this
study. If the same standards were applied to all inpatients, the
impact could have been even greater.
“Heart disease is America’s leading cause of death, affecting
roughly 127.9 million Americans and costing about $252 billion,”
said David Zito, Premier’s President, Performance Services. “As
hospitals and health systems strive for continuous improvement in
cardiovascular care, data-driven insights and transformational
strategies are vital for ensuring patient-centric care aligned with
optimized financial and operational performance. Premier’s 50 Top
Cardiovascular Hospitals program helps hospitals evaluate national
cardiovascular disease trends and develop strategies to deliver
targeted, evidence-based care.”
Methodology for the Rankings
Premier’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals study is based on
quantitative research that uses a balanced scorecard approach,
based on publicly available data, to identify the top
cardiovascular hospitals in the U.S. The program focuses on
short-term, acute care, nonfederal U.S. hospitals that treat a
broad spectrum of cardiology patients. It includes patients
requiring medical management, as well as those who receive invasive
or surgical procedures. Because multiple measures are used, a
hospital must provide all forms of cardiovascular care, including
open heart surgery, to be included in the study. Each patient group
is mutually exclusive by design.
Eligible hospitals are ranked for performance across four
measurement grouping areas:
HOSPITAL MEASURE DOMAINS:
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
Performance
There are six AMI measures used in the
scorecard. Measures include risk-adjusted inpatient mortality,
30-day mortality, 30-day readmissions, severity-adjusted length of
stay, wage- and severity-adjusted average cost per case and 30-day
episode payment.
Heart failure (HF) Performance
There are six HF measures used in the
scorecard. Measures include risk-adjusted inpatient mortality,
30-day mortality, 30-day readmissions, severity-adjusted length of
stay, wage- and severity-adjusted average cost per case and 30-day
episode payment.
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
Performance
There are six CABG measures used in the
scorecard. Measures include risk-adjusted inpatient mortality, risk
adjusted complications, 30-day mortality, 30-day readmissions,
severity-adjusted length of stay, and wage- and severity-adjusted
average cost per case.
Percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) Performance
There are four PCI measures used in the
scorecard. Measures include risk-adjusted inpatient mortality,
risk-adjusted complications, severity-adjusted length of stay, and
wage- and severity-adjusted average cost per case.
All research was based on the following public data sets:
Medicare cost reports, Medicare Provider Analysis and Review
(MEDPAR) data, and Care Compare data from the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) Care Compare website.
Final rank is determined based on performance for all individual
measures. Hospitals are ranked within three separate peer groups:
teaching hospitals with cardiovascular residency programs (20 top
performing facilities), teaching hospitals without cardiovascular
residency programs (20 top performing facilities) and community
hospitals (10 top performing facilities).
