thromboembolism, perinatal care, immunization, tobacco treatment and substance use.
This is the second year Thibodaux Regional has been recognized as a

measure data, including:
- Achieve cumulative performance of 95 percent or above across all reported
accountability measures;
- Achieve performance of 95 percent or above on each and every reported accountability
measure with at least 30 denominator cases; and
- Have at least one core measure set that had a composite rate of 95 percent
or above, and within that measure set, achieve a performance rate of 95
percent or above on all applicable individual accountability measures.
Achieving Top Performer recognition acknowledges the expertise, teamwork
and dedication of the hospital’s staff and physicians, and demonstrates
