CHI St. Vincent announced that CHI St. Vincent Infirmary, CHI St. Vincent North, and CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs have been honored by Arkansas Medicaid and the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care (AFMC) with the annual Inpatient Quality Incentive (IQI) program award.
“This recognition reflects the unwavering commitment of our teams at CHI St. Vincent Infirmary, North and Hot Springs to deliver exceptional care for our patients and improve health outcomes across Arkansas,” said Chad Aduddell, market president for CHI St. Vincent. “We are honored by this award, as we remain dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of the communities we serve.”
A partnership among Arkansas Medicaid, AFMC, and the Arkansas Hospital Association developed the IQI program in 2006 to assess the quality of care through the ways hospitals provide medical care to their patients. Arkansas Medicaid awards financial incentives to participating hospitals that demonstrate significant improvements in health outcomes.
