(April 5, 2019) Shelbyville, IN --- MHP Major Hospital in Shelbyville, Indiana was recently named one of the
Top 20 Rural Community Hospitals in the country.
The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) has announced the 20 highest-ranked
prospective payment system hospitals in the country based on an evaluation
by The Chartis Center for Rural Health using iVantage Health Analytics’
Hospital Strength Index. These rural community hospitals will be recognized
in an awards ceremony during NRHA’s Rural Hospital Innovation Summit
May 9 in Atlanta.
The determining factors for the
Top 20 Rural Community Hospitals were based on eight indices: inpatient market share, outpatient market
share, quality, outcomes, patient perspectives, costs, charge, and financial
stability.
“MHP Major Hospital is proud of the efforts of its physicians and
staff who have contributed to our hospital achieving this designation,”
says Major Health Partners President and CEO, Jack Horner. “Our
recognition as a top health care provider means our community can count
on us to deliver the services they need now and in the future.”
MHP Major Hospital has been named one of the Top 20 Rural & Community
Hospitals in the United States by
NRHA for the second year in a row. Regarded as one of the industry’s
most significant designations of performance excellence. The NRHA’s
Top 20 Rural Community Hospitals Winners are the highest ranked of the
aggregate scores across eight pillars of excellence. This selection is
a subset of the Top 100 RCHs, named by The Chartis Center for Rural Health,
previously announced in February. The official announcement of the Top
20 happens in May 2019. See
