About the Webinar

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 - 8am pacific | 10am central | 11am eastern

Mortality, length of stay and patient safety. Those are among key clinical measures used in the annual 100 Top Hospitals: National Benchmarks study conducted by Thomson Reuters to recognize high-performance hospitals. But that's only part of the picture. The study also includes financial markers for operational comparisons with peer organizations.

Attend this webcast to see what you can learn from hospitals on this year's roster, including how these hospitals achieved high marks in:

• Patient-care quality, including mortality and complications reductions
• Patient-satisfaction scores
• Hospital operations, including controlling expenses and boosting operating margins
