Challenged by surgical quality issues and poor scorecard ratings, a community hospital initiated key improvements to enhance performance and reduce costs. Guided by BRG Healthcare’s analysis and quality improvement plan, the hospital implemented key changes that led to measurable improvements:
increased Leapfrog grades at two hospitals by one letter grade each
realized $2M in cost reduction and supply stewardship
avoided over 20 surgical site infections, resulting in $1M in cost savings
implemented best-in-class surgical workflow
In response to poor public scorecard performance and suboptimal surgical outcomes, an academic medical center pursued comprehensive process improvements. Leveraging BRG Healthcare’s in-depth operational review and data-driven analysis, the hospital:
improved overall CMS Stars performance across key metrics
realized $5M in efficiency gains through improved processes
implemented best-in-class surgical workflow
