Two prestigious "top 100" lists highlight the impact of the Baldrige framework for performance excellence in U.S. health care today. Most recently, Modern Healthcare’s "100 Most Influential People in Healthcare" list, released today, honors three leaders of Baldrige Award-winning health care organizations and a Baldrige Executive Fellow. Those voted to the 2013 list include Susan DeVore, president and CEO of Premier Inc., which won the Baldrige Award in 2006; Nancy Schlichting, CEO of Henry Ford Health System, which won the Baldrige Award in 2011; James Skogsbergh, president and CEO of Advocate Health Care, the parent organization of 2010 Baldrige Award-winner Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital; and Deborah Bowen, a Baldrige Executive Fellow who is president and CEO of the American College of Healthcare Executives. DeVore has made Modern Healthcare’s annual list three times, Schlichting has made the annual list six times, and Skogsbergh has made the list twice.
What’s more, Truven Health Analytics’ 100 Top Hospitals, 20th edition (PDF), released earlier this year, honors 14 hospitals that have received awards for practices and results aligned with the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence.
