Two Aurora hospitals stand out as national leaders for individual performance in the initiative. Aurora BayCare Medical Center in Green Bay was the top performing hospital in the country.

Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center is one of nine hospitals to receive four Top Performer awards. The Sheboygan hospital also is one of eight hospitals nationally to receive eight of a possible eight awards.

The Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration focuses on improving the quality of patient care in congestive heart failure, heart attack, pneumonia, heart bypass surgery, and hip and knee replacement.

In the Year 4 results that were just released, Aurora hospitals have excelled in several of the quality areas.

  • Aurora's hospitals are top performers in 23 of the 47 quality areas that are measured. This is the most of any system.
