- Vital Signs. Location: Waconia, Minn. Type: Private, nonprofit hospital. Beds: 109. Distinction: Top 3 percent in a composite of five surgical care improvement process-of-care measures, among more than 2,300 hospitals (more than half of U.S. acute-care hospitals) eligible for the analysis. Timeframe: April 2007 through March 2008. See Appendix for full methodology. This case study describes the strategies and factors that appear to contribute to high performance on surgical care improvement measures at Ridgeview Medical Center. It is based on information obtained from interviews with key hospital personnel, publicly available information, and materials provided by the hospital during May 2009 through June 2009.
