The recognition of these accomplishments was published in the 2006 annual CareScience Select Practice National Quality Leader report, now available.

As a recipient of the 2006  Select Practice Quality Leader award, INTEGRIS Clinton Regional Hospital is part of an elite group of the top one percent performers across the 4,500 acute care hospitals in the United States as identified by the CareScience™ Select Practice methodology, which utilizes both quality and efficiency indices to track a hospital’s overall performance.  The Quality index is calculated by combining the outcome deviations for mortality, morbidity, and complications into a single quality measure for each facility.  CareScience calculates its efficiency index by using length-of-stay as a proxy for resource usage, which reflects how efficiently hospitals allocate resources amongst patients.  These calculations result in an increased emphasis on clinical outcomes data as compared with other quality awards.  The combined quality and efficiency rating determines the CareScience annual Select Practice recipients. The hospitals must be in the top one percent for each index to attain this recognition.  All acute care inpatient facilities in the United States were eligible to receive a CareScience National Select Practice designation.
