WAUSAU, WI-- Aspirus has been recognized as one of the 15 Top-Performing Health Systems in the country based on overall organizational performance.
The rating comes from IBM Watson Health. Formerly known as Truven Health Analytics 15 Top Health Systems, the study creates a scorecard of measures based on publicly available clinical, operational, and patient satisfaction data. It’s been conducted annually since 2008.
IBM Watson Health says if all Medicare inpatients were similarly situated and received the same level of care as those treated in award-winning facilities, more than 60,000 additional lives could be saved; more than 31,000 additional patients could be complication-free; healthcare-associated infections would be reduced by 16 percent; and patients would spend 40 minutes less in hospital emergency departments per visit.
