comparative performance
what makes us different?
The 100 SafeCare Hospitals® is synonymous for Recognizing Healthcare Excellence® from its holistic, evidence-based metrics that reflect a balanced scorecard of healthcare excellence. Recognizing Healthcare Excellence® refer to 100 SafeCare Hospitals that excel in evidence-based metrics of low infections, low complications, low readmissions, high patient satisfaction, and high value of care. The 100 SafeCare Hospitals listing is truly disruptive to the healthcare status quo. Hospitals that performed poorly on these evidence-based metrics receive a financial penalty from the CMS.
methodology
To produce a meaningful ranking of US hospitals, The SafeCare Group® looked to existing law for guidance of a comprehensive framework for the 100 SafeCare Hospitals®. The distinguished medical and legal experts who designed, developed, and implemented The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005 and The Affordable Care Act believed that a listing of high performing hospitals in the areas of low rates of infections, complications, readmissions, costs, and high patient satisfaction would promote strong incentives to improve health care.
These metrics subsequently became part of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) hospitals pay-for-performance programs of HVBP, HACRP, and HRRP. The SafeCare Group® adopted these relevant metrics as its framework for the 100 SafeCare Hospitals® methodology, termed Recognizing Healthcare Excellence®, as it represented holistic, evidence-based metrics and reflect a Balanced Scorecard of low rates of infections, complications, and readmissions.
The 100 SafeCare Hospitals listing is truly disruptive to the healthcare status quo. Hospitals that performed poorly on these evidence-based metrics receive a financial penalty from the CMS. We believe that these listings would incentivize hospital leadership to improve care and reduce unnecessary errors that harm patients.
