Solucient Benchmarks

Solucient is a market leader in providing tools and vital insights that healthcare managers use to improve the performance of their organizations. Annually, the company conducts three in-depth studies and announces the "Top 100 Hospitals" in each category. Saint Francis has been a winner in all three.

100 Top Hospitals: National

This study uses a board- and executive-level scorecard based on objective measurement in five critical areas: clinical outcomes, patient safety, operational efficiency, financial stability and growth. Winning hospitals display balanced organizational performance—an ability to provide sustainable and reliable health care services to their communities.
