Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics Earns 2024 Performance Leadership Award from The Chartis Center for Rural Health
As part of National Rural Health Day, Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics announced it has earned a 2024 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Quality (Belmond & Clarion), Outcomes (Clarion), and Patient Perspective (Belmond). Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards recognize top quartile performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in Quality, Outcomes and/or Patient Perspective.
“We are honored to be recognized for the exceptional healthcare our employees provide each and every day,” said Steve Simonin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Iowa Specialty Hospital. “We are proud to receive this performance leadership award from The Chartis Center and will continue to provide our patients with the specialized care they deserve."
The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a comprehensive and objective framework for assessing how rural hospitals are performing. INDEX benchmarks are relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations, and state offices of rural health to measure performance across multiple areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
“The Performance Leadership Awards capture the commitment, diligence, and innovation with which America’s rural hospitals approach the delivery of care within their communities,” said Troy Brown, Network Consultant, The Chartis Center for Rural Health. “It’s a tremendous honor to be able to recognize the efforts of this year’s award winners and celebrate their achievement as part of National Rural Health Day.”
