Feds rate hospitals

Cover-January-25-2007

The U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services has created a website that rates hospitals on their care of heart patients. It actually compares them with national and regional averages.

Remember we did a story on quality ratings back in January: Focus on Healthcare

Here is the HHS site: Compare Hospital Heart Care (hhs.gov)

Note: I know some of you are tired of me pointing out how we’re ahead editorially of the PNJ – but it’s amazing what a little staff of six can do. I’m proud of our guys.
