Now in its 14th year, this study analyzes rural hospitals through the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX, a comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance in the United States. Leveraging publicly available data, the Index is a trusted resource across the country to measure and monitor performance across eight defined pillars of excellence, including quality, cost, and patient engagement. These hospitals serve as a benchmark for other rural facilities as they strive to achieve similar results and provide a blueprint for successfully navigating the uncertainty of the ever-changing health care environment.
