Mercy Medical Center Again Recognized as Top 100 Value Hospital

SPRINGFIELD — For the fourth consecutive year, Mercy Medical Center has been recognized as a

Top100 Community Value hospital by Cleverley + Associates, a leading healthcare financial-consulting firm specializing in operational benchmarking and performance-enhancement strategies.

Mercy’s designation is noted in the independent organization’s recent publication, “State of the Hospital Industry, 2013 Edition.”

“Mercy Medical Center’s longstanding reputation for delivering high-quality care at a reasonable cost has once again been independently confirmed with the presentation of both the Community Value 100 and Community Value Five Star Awards. We are proud to be identified among the nation’s highest-scoring facilities in measures of quality of care and costs for the fourth year in a row,” said Daniel Moen, president and CEO of the Sisters of Providence Health System. With an increasing focus on healthcare value and value-based purchasing of healthcare services driven by healthcare reform, providers are challenged to maximize their productivity and efficiency without sacrificing quality. These awards are further validation that Mercy Medical Center successfully meets those challenges.

Written by William Cleverley, Ph.D., a noted expert in healthcare finance, “State of the Hospital Industry” reports on selected measures of hospital financial performance and discusses the critical factors that lie behind them. The publication focuses on the U.S. acute-care hospital industry over a three-year period (2009-11).
