Three Wisconsin hospitals are named among the list of 100 Top Hospitals in the nation by Thomson Healthcare, a medical consulting company.
Aurora Health Care's West Allis Memorial Hospital and Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center were named among the best in the "Medium Community Hospitals" category.
Gundersen Lutheran Health System in La Crosse was named among the best in the "Teaching Hospitals" category.
This is the 15th edition of the Thomson 100 Top Hospitals study.
The list recognizes hospitals that have achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, financial performance and efficiency.
"It is great to be recognized for the work that we have done in the areas of patient safety, quality and cost management," said Rick Kellar, administrator of West Allis Memorial Hospital. "It is very rewarding for our staff and medical staff to be honored nationally."
Bobbe Tiegen, administrator at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center, said, "Our physicians and staff continually seek ways to improve our services and deliver patient-centered care, and we are pleased to have their efforts recognized in this way."
According to Thomson, if all hospitals in the country had performed at the level of the Top 100 hospitals on the eight patient safety measures studied, 7,914 lives would have been saved and costs would have been reduced by $253 million during the two-year period covered by the study.
