HCA Clinical Scorecard
Ron Folwell
Director of Quality
The HCA Clinical Scorecard report is comprised of 30 metrics (e.g. IP-VTE) organized into five categories (e.g. Core Measures). The goal of the scorecard is to provide timely access to transparent, standardized, and actionable data to track performance and identify variation. In the scorecard, this is accomplished by summarizing many of the key clinical performance metrics into a single drillable report. The scorecard summarizes clinical, process, and utilization measures into a single view, which is used to rank performance of HCA Divisions and Facilities.
As of July 15, 2017, West Valley Medical Center ranks No. 1 out of 169 HCA hospitals for low hospital-acquired infection rates. We also lead the Mountain Division and are ranked No. 7 in HCA for exceptional overall performance in these key quality measures. Thanks to our clinical staff and physician providers for your diligence in consistently providing safe, high-quality patient care.
