Hot Springs, Infirmary, North Earn Inpatient Quality Incentive Award

CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs, Infirmary and North were recently recognized by Arkansas Medicaid and the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care (AFMC) as part of the annual Inpatient Quality Incentive (IQI) Program. The award celebrates each hospital’s participation of more than 10 years in the IQI program and its efforts toward improving the health of Arkansans.

Through a partnership between Arkansas Medicaid, AFMC and the Arkansas Hospital Association, the IQI program was developed in 2006 to assess quality of care through the ways in which hospitals provide medical care to their patients. Since its launch in 2006, Arkansas Medicaid has awarded financial incentives to participating hospitals that demonstrate significant improvements in health outcomes.
