Vizient, a leading health care performance improvement company, ranked the Intermountain hospitals as top health care performers in their annual Quality and Accountability Study, which looked at data from 1,220 hospitals across the United States.
The study measured quality of patient care based in six factors: patient safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, patient-centeredness and variation in care.
“These awards affirm that the priorities Intermountain is committed to (safety, high reliability, quality, and patient-centeredness) are not just aspirations, but realities taking hold across our system,” said Cara Camiolo, MD, chief quality and safety officer for Intermountain Health. “This recognition is the direct result of exceptional dedication and hard work of our frontline caregivers and managers delivering high-quality care."

The Vizient Quality and Accountability Study helps participating hospitals and health systems understand their performance against their peers and identifies structures and processes associated with high performance in quality and safety across a broad spectrum of patient care activity.
