Who Measures Quality?

There are many avenues available for consumers to get information about healthcare quality measurements.

Two major institutions that report on hospital quality are:

US Department of Health and Human Services

The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offers a consumer website called Hospital Compare. Here you can find information about how hospitals nationwide treat patients with three of the most common medical conditions requiring hospitalization. These conditions are heart attack, heart failure, and pneumonia. It also reports on surgical infection prevention.
