Three Indiana Regions Identified as "Low-Cost, High Quality".

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement recently concluded a "How did they do that?" conference where invited healthcare leaders from regions around the US identified as "Low-Cost, High Quality" met in Washington, DC to talk about their experiences.

Although no region from Indiana participated in this meeting, the IHI did publish their methodology in identifying eligible regions. You can find that document here.

Based on their methodology, approximately 70 regions were identified as "Low-Cost, High Quality". The list of regions can be found here.

Three Indiana regions were named in this document. They are:

• Fort Wayne
• Muncie
• South Bend

Opening slides that compare "Low-Cost, High Quality" regions to "all others" from this meeting can be found here.

Maybe the three large Central Indiana health systems can learn a thing or two from the the three Indiana regions above?
