September 25, 2026- Vizient® announced its 2026 Top Performers for quality in hospital and ambulatory care and supply chain stewardship. The awards recognize hospitals and healthcare organizations nationwide for their achievements in improving patient care, advancing performance and demonstrating leadership in responsible sourcing and sustainability. The awards were announced Sept. 23 at the Vizient Connections Summit in Las Vegas.
Vizient measures hospital performance using data from the Vizient Clinical Data Base (CDB), the largest clinical comparative database of its kind, which serves more than 1,600 hospitals across more than 250 health systems in 49 states. The CDB tracks quality measures including mortality, length of stay, readmission rates, complications, and resource utilization enabling hospitals to benchmark performance, identify improvement opportunities and streamline data collection.
Over the past year, Vizient has enhanced the CDB with year-to-date reporting and a ‘What-If’ calculator tool to easily track performance as soon as new data is added. These tools enable hospitals to monitor results throughout the year, identify opportunities for improvement, estimate how potential changes could affect their performance before acting, and timely measure the impact of improvement initiatives.
This year’s Top Performers demonstrate how healthcare organizations are turning data-driven insights into meaningful improvements in patient care and operations.
