Brentwood, Tennessee, September 30, 2025 – (Business Wire) – Trilliant Health, a leading analytics and market research firm in the healthcare industry, today released its 2025 edition of its Similarity Index® | Hospitals are the only data-driven hospital benchmarking tool in the health economy. The free tool equips hospital leaders and compares performance with true peers using the latest quality, financial and competitive data.
Unlike reputation-driven rankings and “Vanity Lists,” Similarity Index®|Hospitals leverage machine learning models to identify the 50 most similar hospitals of over 2,200 US hospitals. Why isn't there any more? This is because more than 2,000 hospitals were unable to report the mortality rate, readmission, or hospital acquisition status measurements required by at least one CMS.
This index allows users to compare facilities across key dimensions such as readmission, occupancy rate, market share, and reimbursement rates. Hospital leaders can analyze performance against their true peers with the latest data, including:
Updated Quality, Financial and Competitive Measures: Verify that benchmark peer comparisons of the latest CMS and hospital-reported data reflect current operating conditions, from readmissions and occupancy to market share changes.
Updated Commercial Fees: Negotiation rate data for selected procedures at each hospital are reviewed from machine-readable files posted by large national payers to gain insight into the wide range of commercial fees.
“For hospitals often labelled “best,” the benchmark doesn't make much sense because their closest peers are still very different,” says Hal Andrews, president and CEO of Trilliant Health. “The key is to provide value for money. In other parts of the industry, it starts by comparing performance to true peers with similar competitive dynamics.”
2025 Similarity index®|Hospitals are currently available on the Trilliant Health website, providing free access to timely, data-driven peer comparisons for hospital leaders, health system executives and policy makers.
