Press Releases

BRENTWOOD, TN – September 30, 2025 – Trilliant Health, the healthcare industry’s leading analytics and market research firm, today released the 2025 edition of its SimilarityIndex® | Hospitals, the health economy’s only data-driven hospital benchmarking tool. The free tool equips hospital leaders to compare performance against true peers using the most current quality, financial, competitive and price data.

Unlike reputation-driven rankings and “vanity lists,” SimilarityIndex® | Hospitals leverages machine learning models to identify the 50 most similar hospitals for more than 2,200 U.S. hospitals. Why not more? Because more than 2,000 hospitals failed to report at least one CMS-required mortality, readmission or Hospital Acquired Condition measure.

The index enables users to compare facilities across key dimensions, including readmissions, occupancy, market share and reimbursement rates. Hospital leaders can analyze their performance against their true peers with the most up-to-date data, including:

• Updated Quality, Financial and Competitive Measures: Benchmark against the most recent CMS and hospital-reported data to ensure peer comparisons reflect current operating conditions, from readmissions and occupancy to shifts in market share. 
• Refreshed Commercial Rates: Review negotiated rate data for a select procedure at each hospital from the machine-readable files posted by a large national payer to gain insight into the wide variation in commercial rates.

“For hospitals often labeled the ‘best,’ benchmarking doesn’t mean much because their closest peers are still very different,” said Hal Andrews, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trilliant Health. “What matters is delivering value for money. For the rest of the industry, that starts with comparing performance to true peers with similar competitive dynamics.”

The 2025 SimilarityIndex® | Hospitals is available now at Trilliant Health’s website, giving hospital leaders, health system executives and policymakers access to timely, data-driven peer comparisons at no cost.
