Preferred Hospital Methodology

Maine hospitals can achieve "Preferred" status through two primary pathways: by earning a minimum score of 70 from the State Employee Health Commission or by entering a cost-reduction agreement with the state to enhance care quality. The evaluation criteria include effective care, patient safety, patient experience, and comparative costs, each weighted accordingly. Effective care, patient safety, and comparative costs each contribute 30% to the total score, while patient satisfaction accounts for 10%. For detailed scoring results, visit www.GetBetterMaine.org.
