The Flex Monitoring Team (FMT) is excited to release the National Report for the 2024 National Critical Access Hospital (CAH) Quality Inventory and Assessment (“Assessment”)! The Assessment provides a wealth of information on quality improvement processes from CAHs in a standardized manner, in order to enhance support to CAHs in quality improvement activities. This report provides a high-level summary of national data from the Assessment, fielded in Fall 2024. Over 1,290 CAHs (94%) completed the Assessment and provided data on a variety of characteristics, including service lines, patient volume, and CAH quality infrastructure.
