On Wednesday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) placed ads in 58 major daily newspapers advertising their Hospital Compare Web site, which uses patient evaluations to rate hospitals.
“These ads—and Hospital Compare—are intended to give consumers more information for making choices about their healthcare,” said HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt. “This brings us closer to meeting the goal of using new technologies to make the quality of healthcare services all across the nation more transparent to the public.”
