About the Webinar

Mortality, length of stay, readmission rates. Those are among key clinical measures used in the annual 100 Top Hospitals analysis conducted by Thomson Reuters to recognize high-performance hospitals. But that's only part of the picture. The study also includes financial and other comparisons with peer organizations.

Key Takeaways

Attend this editorial 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.
• Scores on core measures, which reflect organizations' adherence to evidenced-based processes.
• Hospital operations, including controlling expenses and boosting operating margins.
