BLOG #4: Wild Card. Cross Comparison Analysis of Hospital Award Winners: Comparing Baldrige, ANCC Magnet Recognition, and U.S. News Report Best Hospitals 2010-11 Honor Roll.
This summer I was allowed the opportunity to intern with an acute care hospital here in the Orlando area. This particular hospital is one that is currently trying to obtain the prestigious ANCC Magnet Recognition Award. One day while discussing details of the Magnet Award with the leadership at this acute care facility the question was raised about the percentage of Magnet Hospitals that are also Baldrige recipients’.
In light of the newly released U.S. News Best Hospitals 2010-11 Honor Roll, I felt this would be an excellent opportunity to cross match the three awards to see if a correlation did exist.
The Baldrige Award for healthcare facilities first began in 2002. Since inception there have been a total of 11 recipients of the Baldrige Award. The analysis will be a cross-comparison of past Baldrige winners with the Magnet Recognition Award, and the U.S. News Report 2010-11 Best Hospital Honor Roll list of the top fourteen hospitals and is listed below.
- As of 2010, 72% of all Baldrige winners for healthcare also received Magnet Recognition.
- 36% of Baldrige winners achieved Magnet Recognition after receiving the Baldrige Award.
- 27% of Baldrige winners achieved Magnet Recognition before receiving the Baldrige Award.
- Only one organization, SSM Healthcare achieved both the Baldrige and Magnet Recognition in the same year.
- Not a single Baldrige winner is on the U.S. News 2010-11 Honor Roll top 14 Hospitals.
| Year | Baldrige Award | Magnet Award | US News 10-11 Honor Roll |
| 2009 | Atlanti Care. NJ | Yes- 04/08 | No |
| 2009 | Heartland Health. MO | No | No |
| 2008 | Poudre Valley Health. CO | Yes- 00/04/09 | No |
| 2007 | Mercy Health. WI | No | No |
| 2007 | Sharp Healthcare. CA | Yes- 04 | No |
| 2006 | North Mississippi Med. MS | No | No |
| 2005 | Bronson Methodist. MI | Yes- 09 | No |
| 2004 | Robert Wood Johnson. NJ | Yes- 97/02/06 | No |
| 2003 | Baptist Hospital Inc. FL | Yes- 07 | No |
| 2003 | St. Luke Hospital. MO | Yes- 04/09 | No |
| 2002 | SSM Healthcare. MO | Yes 02/06 | No |
These results lead to a second search comparing the U.S. News 2010-11 Honor Roll for the top fourteen hospitals, with Magnet Recognition status.
- 35% of the top fourteen hospitals never received the ANCC Magnet Recognition award.
- 64% of the top fourteen hospitals are ANCC Magnet recipients.
- Once again, not a single hospital from the top fourteen-honor roll has received a Baldrige Award.
| Rank | US News 2010-11 Honor Roll Hospitals | Magnet Award | Baldrige |
| 1 | Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore | No | No |
| 2 | Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. | Yes- 97/02/06 | No |
| 3 | Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston | Yes- 03/08 | No |
| 4 | Cleveland Clinic | Yes- 03/08 | No |
| 5 | Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles | Yes- 05 | No |
| 6 | New York-Presbyterian University Hospital | No | No |
| 7 | University of California, San Francisco | No | No |
| 8 | Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University | Yes- 03/08 | No |
| 9 | Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania | Yes- 07 | No |
| 10 | Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C. | Yes- 06 | No |
| 11 | Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston | No | No |
| 12 | University of Washington Medical Center | Yes- 94/98/02/06 | No |
| 13 | UPMC-University of Pittsburgh Medical Center | Yes- 10 | No |
| 14 | University of Michigan Hospitals | No | No |
The evidence suggests that the common factor between the three designations is the ANCC Magnet award. Organizations who obtain the ANCC Magnet Recognition have a higher probability to be recipients of other prestigious healthcare recognition awards. It should also be noted that just because a hospital was not listed in the top fourteen honor roll for 2010-11 does not suggest that the hospital is not chosen as one of the best for 2010-11, or has not received recognition in the past from U.S. News & World Report.
