Aultman Care Measures
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, in conjunction with its partners in the Hospital Quality Alliance, launched a Web site called “Hospital Compare.” The site includes data on 20 measures of quality of care in the areas of heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical infection prevention. The goals of Hospital Compare are to improve the care provided by U.S. hospitals, while giving health care consumers easy access to quality information.
The data below covers discharged patients for the reporting period from the second quarter of 2008 through the fourth quarter of 2009.
