PROVIDENCE – Six hospitals in the region have been recognized with Community Value Leadership Awards by Cleverley + Associates, a health care financial firm based in Worthington, Ohio.

Roger Williams Medical Center in Providence, Saint Anne’s Hospital and Southcoast Hospital Group Inc. in Fall River, and Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro are among the top 100 hospitals nationwide recognized with Community Value 100 Awards for receiving the highest scores in their size or geographic group.

In addition, Community Value Five-Star Awards were given to Landmark Medical Center in Woonsocket and Roger Williams Medical Center for achieving CVI scores within the top 20 percent of all hospitals within their group. Morton Hospital in Taunton, as well as Saint Anne’s, Southcoast and Sturdy, also received this designation.

“We are proud to once again be recognized by Cleverley + Associates for the value and benefits we provide to our region,” Keith A. Hovan, president & CEO of Southcoast Health, said in a statement.
He noted Southcoast also was recognized last year.

“As a not-for-profit health care system, our primary mission is to provide high-quality care to patients and add significant value to our communities. As the region’s largest employer and economic contributor, we take immense pride in our role of positively impacting the overall quality of life for everyone living on the South Coast. We measure our comprehensive success by our clinical excellence, positive patient experiences, impact on an individual’s quality of life, the value we offer patients, and the amount of resources we invest back into our communities,” Hovan said.

Cleverley + Associates released the findings as part of its new publication: State of the Hospital Industry – 2016 Edition. The publication focuses on the U.S. acute-care hospital industry over a three-year time period, 2012-14.

For the thirteenth year, the 2016 State of the Hospital Industry reports an exclusive measure developed by Cleverley + Associates: the Community Value Index. The CVI is a proprietary index created to offer a measure of the value that a hospital provides to its community.

Said James Cleverley, co-author, “The Community Value Index was created to provide an assessment of a hospital’s performance in four areas: financial strength and reinvestment, cost of care, pricing and quality. Fundamentally, the CVI suggests that a hospital provides value to the community when it is financially viable, is appropriately reinvesting back into the facility, maintains a low cost structure, has reasonable charges and provides high quality care to patients.”
