Fannin Regional Hospital Makes Georgia Trend’s Top Hospitals List
Fannin Regional Hospital has been included in the 2018 list of twenty Top Small Hospitals in Georgia by Georgia Trend magazine. The hospital rankings are based on CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) data downloaded August 18, 2018.
A total Performance Score was used to rank the hospitals in each group using information on clinical process, patient experience, outcome and efficiency. Analysis of the data was completed for Georgia Trend by independent consultant Mark A. Thompson, associate dean and professor at the Hull College of Business at Augusta University.
In the annual rankings list, Georgia Trend magazine groups hospitals of similar size and mission. The categories are: Teaching Hospitals, whose primary mission is teaching - regardless of size - and are certified by the Association of American Medical Colleges Council of Teaching Hospitals and Health Systems; Large Hospitals (250+ patient beds); Medium Hospitals (100 to 249 beds); and Small Hospitals (fewer than 100 beds). The American Hospital Directory provided the hospital bed size.
David S. Sanders, CEO of Fannin Regional Hospital said, “I see this as a tremendous team effort on the part of the entire organization – the board, the medical staff, the hospital staff and our volunteers.”
