Sanford Tracy Medical Center Honored for Performance Excellence by Chartis Center for Rural Health
As part of National Rural Health Day, Sanford Tracy Medical Center has been recognized with 2024 Performance Leadership Awards for excellence in both quality and patient perspective.
Compiled by the Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards honor top quartile performance (i.e., 75th percentile or above) among rural hospitals in quality, outcomes and/or patient perspective.
“Sanford Tracy continues to add and enhance quality measures to ensure our patients receive the best health care,” said Stacy Barstad, chief executive officer at Sanford Tracy. “Being able to offer the care a patient needs in their own community, or a neighboring community is invaluable, especially for those patients who would otherwise travel close to 100 miles or more roundtrip for their appointment.”
The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. INDEX data is relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations and state offices of rural health around the country to measure and monitor performance across several areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
