Lilypad®, a leading healthcare analytics firm, recently announced the 2020 Lilypad Awards, the first and only ranking program for our nation’s 4,400 rural health clinics. The Lilypad Awards recognize the Rural Health Clinics that outperform their rural primary care practice peers in terms of efficiency and operational excellence.
Utilizing data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid program to calculate rural-relevant metrics across five domains, the Lilypad Awards provide a comprehensive and objective assessment of rural health clinic performance. The Lilypad Awards and Lilypad’s Practice Operations National Database (POND®) programs are used nationally by rural clinics, State Offices of Rural Health, regional healthcare systems and rural hospitals to measure and monitor rural primary care practice performance. They serve as the foundation for several state and national rural primary care performance improvement initiatives.
Congratulations to Family Medical Group in Meadville, Sunflower Rural Health Clinic in Meadville, and South Central Regional Medical Center in Laurel for being recognized as leaders in the Southeast!
