Both hospitals are located in the Fox Valley of Wisconsin. These facilities have been recognized as Solucient Top 100 Hospitals and #1 Consumer Choicefacilities by the National Research Corporation.

Since its inception, overall inpatient mortality rates have dropped 16 percent. Overall lengths of stay for the five most common ailments, including pneumonia, stroke, chest pain, and congestive heart failure, have dropped by 7.5 percent. The improved outcomes and shorter stays have resulted in a 9.6 percent drop in the average charge per patient.
Hospitalists have played an integral part in quality improvement, including Collaborative Care. Hospital staff is studying all clinical and administrative processes to determine the content of each process, both in resources and steps. These improvement events are a week in length and involve employees from all levels of the organization. The hospitalist service has committed the involvement of their physicians, providing mini-sabbatical time to participate.
