FREE WEBINAR: Re-Evaluating America's Hospitals on Social Justice
Tuesday, July 14th, 2020
1:00pm - 2:00pm
Virtual
Hi there— You’re invited to join Open Markets Institute on Tuesday for a free webinar on “What Makes the Best Hospitals for America?” It’s time to re-evaluate America’s hospitals on how well they serve social justice.
Background: On July 7, the Washington Monthly magazine released its inaugural Best Hospitals for America ranking, which measures individual hospitals on how well they save lives, save money, and serve everyone – especially low-income and minority populations within their communities.
This will be in-depth discussion with the creators of this new hospital ranking about why their methodology gives us a more accurate picture of hospital quality on what matters most: taking in a diverse patient population, healing those patients, and not overtreating them.
The Best Hospitals for America ranking measures hospitals by quality of care, but also by two other metrics no other ranking system has ever used. The first is civic leadership, and the second metric is value of care. The Monthly’s different approach yields radically different results from the U.S. News top 20.
When: Tuesday, July 14, 2020 at 1:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Panelists include:
Vikas Saini, MD, president of the Lown Institute
Paul Glastris, editor in chief of the Washington Monthly
Kate Walsh, president and CEO of the Boston Medical Center
And more!
Moderator:
Philip Longman, policy director at Open Markets Institute, author of “Hidden Charges,” and co-author of “An Epidemic of Greed” in this special issue of Washington Monthly
