Based entirely on publicly available data, the INDEX is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance. Utilizing 50 independent indicators, the INDEX assesses performance across eight pillars of performance that span market-, value- and finance-based categories.
Hospitals recognized as a Top 100 facility had one of the 100 highest overall scores among all Rural and Community Hospitals nationally.
According to Kuehler, maintaining superior standards at Knox County Hospital and across all facilities owned by the hospital district is imperative. “Quality standards save lives,” Kuehler said. “At Knox County Hospital District, all of our facilities are committed to enhancing quality improvement efforts to ensure that our patients receive the right care at the right time.”
