Hammond-Henry named in the prestigious group
"50 Critical Access Hospitals to Know"
by Becker's Hospital Review
This is the first time that Becker's has published such a list, which recognizes critical access hospitals that have demonstrated excellence in caring for their communities.The selection was based on other awards that we have received, such as the iVantage Top 100 Critical Access Hospital, patient satisfaction scores and quality indicators from CMS' Hospital Compare, and Healthgrades ratings. Becker's Hospital Review is well regarded throughout the health care community and provides national recognition for our hospital. This award provides continuing evidence that the committed guidance from the Board, the leadership of your management team and the quality of your medical staff is collectively achieving Hammond-Henry Hospital's vision to provide "medical excellence close to home".
2015 Most Wired Award
For the second year in a row, Hammond-Henry Hospital was awarded the recognition of one of the "Most Wired" Hospitals in the country. The list of hospitals receiving this award was recently published. There are 2,500 rural hospitals in the United States. Thirty six "small and rural" hospitals received this recognition, placing Hammond-Henry Hospital in the top 1% of rural hospitals across the country for IT functionality.
Hammond-Henry is named a "HealthStrong" Top Hospital
Hammond-Henry Hospital is named a "HealthStrong" Top Hospital by iVantage Health Analytics Inc. earlier this year. iVantage profiled all U.S. hospitals with consideration for wellness, cost and population management effects in their market. Of the 4,334 hospitals studied, the top tier of hospitals have been designated "HealthStrong" hospitals. Only 572 hospitals earned the designation.
The rating "looks at the hospital as a whole," said Flo Spyrow, interim CEO of HHH. iVantage evaluates a hospital's outpatient market share inpatient market share, population risk, cost, charge, quality, outcomes, patient perspective and financial stability.
Flo Spyrow, Interim CEO stated "Hammond-Henry is a very, very high performing facility and we are also very unique in the amount of community support we have for our hospital. There's a culture and priority locally that values healthcare. We offer a full spectrum of care, which is very unusual in hospitals of our size. Many do not realize the wide breadth of services Hammond-Henry offers." Flo also stated "It's rare for hospitals of Hammond-Henry's size to offer obstetrics and the hospital's orthopedic and surgical specialties are a real service to the community."
