CHI St. Vincent Infirmary in Little Rock, CHI St. Vincent North in Sherwood and CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs have been honored by Arkansas Medicaid and the Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care with the annual Inpatient Quality Incentive (IQI) program award. The recognition celebrates over a decade of consistent participation in the IQI program and highlights the hospitals’ dedication to improving the health and well-being of Arkansans through patient-centered care.
A partnership among Arkansas Medicaid, AFMC and the Arkansas Hospital Association developed the IQI program in 2006 to assess the quality of care through how hospitals provide medical care to their patients. Arkansas Medicaid awards financial incentives to participating hospitals that demonstrate significant improvements in health outcomes.
