Truven scored hospitals using its 100 Top Hospitals balanced scorecard measures, which include mortality rates, complication rates, operating profit margin and HCAHPS scores, among others.
Nonprofit, church-owned hospitals had the highest overall score and government-owned hospitals had the worst overall score, with significantly worse performance on core measures and inpatient expenses, according to the report.
