Frequently Asked Questions

 

We select measures which reflect high volume or high risk conditions that have well defined and accepted
definitions for external comparison and internal
improvement. We research current literature, seek input from physicians and employees to identify areas for improvement. Many of our measures have been chosen by Federal and state agencies and other health care experts as measurements of high quality medical care for certain conditions representing some of the most common and costly conditions that hospitals treat. By analyzing and reporting on a common set of measures, doctors and their patients can compare information easier and make informed decisions from reliable sources.
