It’s National Hospital Week — a great time to celebrate the health organizations that support and care for us all!
Some of our most vital hospitals are those small, rural facilities that provide 24/7 emergency care and acute services to remote, often underserved communities. Becker’s Hospital Review recently released a list of the top 100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) to know in 2026, which includes over 20 MEDITECH customers, such as:
Bingham Memorial Hospital (Blackfoot, ID) — Cut discharge documentation time by 75% by implementing a proactive population health strategy focused on nurse-led care and smart technology.
Henry County Hospital (Napoleon, OH) — Scored in the 95th percentile overall for EHR physician satisfaction in a 2024 KLAS Arch Collaborative report.
Howard County Medical Center (St. Paul, NE): — Reduced its self-pay bad debt by 42% and improved community engagement with its integrated EHR and Central Business Office.
Klickitat Valley Health (Goldendale, WA) — Achieved a 400% ROI and recovered over $1 million/year by leveraging AI to automate multiple processes.
Newman Regional Health (Emporia, KS) — Improved sepsis compliance by over 50%, using a multidisciplinary approach to intervention and treatment.
