National Quality Indicators
Hospitals can vary in the quality of care they provide. Key quality measurements for hospital-acquired infections, heart care, surgical care, congestive heart failure care and pneumonia care are one way to see how well a hospital is caring for its patients. This chart shows our most recent clinical data provided to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; it will be available on their web site later this year.
