Top 100 Critical Access Hospital List Released

The Chartis Center for Rural Health has released its annual list of the top 100 critical access hospitals in the U.S. To determine the 2021 list, the Chartis Center used the Hospital Strength Index, which assesses performance in eight areas: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge and financial efficiency. Colorado and Iowa CAHs led the Top 5: East Morgan County Hospital, CO; Rio Grande Hospital, CO; Burgess Health Center, IA; Cass County Memorial Hospital, IA; and Clarke County Hospital, IA.
