For the second year in a row, Duncan Regional Hospital has been named one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals® by Thomson Reuters, a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the cost and quality of healthcare.
This award recognizes hospitals that have achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient satisfaction, financial performance, and operational efficiency. This is the third time Duncan Regional Hospital has been recognized with this honor.
“Our aim is to create a safe environment and deliver quality care to our patients while exceeding their expectations. Our Board of Directors, medical staff, and team members work together in a concerted effort to achieve our goals. Earning this honorable distinction for two years in a row reflects our determination to provide the highest standards in healthcare to southwest Oklahoma.” stated Scott Street, President and CEO of Duncan Regional Hospital.
Duncan Regional Hospital is a progressive; not-for-profit 167-bed nationally accredited facility with a staff of over 800. Located in southwest Oklahoma Duncan Regional has unique services such a 12,000 square foot learning center that offers a variety of nursing degrees from The University of Oklahoma and Western State Oklahoma College. They also have an interactive learning center for children called Hands on Health, the only one of its kind in the nation.

100 Top Hospital winners were identified through an in-depth analysis, the Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals®: National Benchmarks study. The study evaluated over 3,000 short-term, acute care, non-federal hospitals in nine areas: mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average length of stay, expenses, profitability, cash-to-debt ratio, patient satisfaction, and adherence to clinical standards of care.
The winning hospitals were announced in the March 30 edition of Modern Healthcare magazine
* The 100 Top Hospitals winners raised the bar again
this year, delivering a higher level of reliable
care and greater value for their communities,” said
Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for
performance improvement and 100 Top Hospitals
programs at Thomson Reuters.
If all Medicare inpatients received the same level
of care as Medicare patients treated in the winning
hospitals
* More than 107,500 additional patients would survive
each year
* Nearly 132,000 patient complications would be
avoided annually.
* Expenses would decline by $5.9 billion a year.
* The average patient stay would decrease by nearly
half a day.
