  Something like

library(plotrix)

plotCI(mortratevec,1:n,li=mort.lo,ui=mort.hi,err="x",axes=FALSE)
axis(side=1)
axis(side=2,at=1:n,label=hospitalnames,padj=0,las=1)
box()
abline(v=meanmort)

 
ggplot2 is another option: more complicated to get working,
but very pretty.  You'll want to look at
geom_point
geom_linerange
coord_flip
geom_hline
