ROSWELL, November 14, 2024 — Lovelace Regional Hospital (LRH) has earned a 2024 Performance Leadership Award for excellence in “Outcomes.” Compiled by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, the Performance Leadership Awards recognize top quartile performance (i.e. 75th percentile or above) among rural hospital in Quality, Outcomes and/or Patient Perspective.
The Performance Leadership Awards are based on the results of the Chartis Rural Hospital Performance INDEX®, a comprehensive and objective framework for assessing how rural hospitals are performing. INDEX benchmarks are relied upon by rural hospitals, health systems with rural footprints, hospital associations, and state offices of rural health to measure performance across multiple areas impacting hospital operations and finance.
“We are proud to have earned an award for excellence in our ‘Outcomes’ from The Chartis Center for Rural Health,” said Lovelace Regional Hospital Chief Executive Officer Nick Shirilla. “Rural hospitals are vital to the health of a large and sparsely-populated state like New Mexico. Our providers, caregivers and hospital staff are dedicated to the health and outcomes of our community, with their eye squarely focused on the most positive outcomes possible for our patients.”
