Contact: Danielle PerryFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEPhone: (978) 463-1175August 15, 2012Anna Jaques Hospital Recognized as Community Value Hospital in MassachusettsNEWBURYPORT, Mass. --- Anna Jaques Hospital was recently recognized as a top-ranked Community Value Provider by Cleverley + Associates of Columbus, OH, in two categories: Community Value Five Star Hospital and Community Value 100 Hospital. Cleverley + Associates, a leading healthcare financial consulting firm specializing in operational benchmarking and performance enhancement strategies, released the findings as part of its new publication: State of the Hospital Industry - 2012 Edition."These awards are a testament to our ability to provide measurably high-quality care while remaining low-cost and affordable," said Delia O’Connor, President and CEO. "Being designated a Five Star and Value 100 hospital reaffirms how vital Anna Jaques is to our community, as we provide quantifiable value to those we serve in the Merrimack Valley, North Shore, and New Hampshire border towns and beachside communities.” Written by William O. Cleverley, Ph.D., a noted expert in healthcare finance, the State of the Hospital Industry reports selected measures of hospital financial performance and discusses the critical factors that lie behind them. The publication focuses on the US acute-care hospital industry over a three-year time period (2008-2010). For the ninth year, the 2012 State of the Hospital Industry reports an exclusive measure developed by Cleverley + Associates: the Community Value Index? (CVI). The CVI is a proprietary index created to offer a measure of the value that a hospital provides to its community. The book outlines the data used to calculate the CVI as well as provides a list of the Top 100 and all Five-Star (top quintile) hospitals.“The topic of hospital value is increasingly being discussed. Issues of pricing and community benefit have been well-publicized but little has been offered to measure the broad scope of value,” adds James Cleverley, co-author. “In response, 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.”ABOUT ANNA JAQUES HOSPITALAnna Jaques Hospital is an independent, not-for-profit community hospital serving 17 cities and towns in the Merrimack Valley, North Shore and Southern New Hampshire.
