The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) enhanced its Hospital Compare Web site to include data on a mortality measure for pneumonia and care for children, according to an August 20 press release.
“The 30-day Medicare mortality data will strengthen quality improvement partnerships in hospitals by encouraging better handoffs and communication,” said Carolyn M. Clancy, MD, director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. “The addition of pediatric quality measures also is an important step in ensuring that our nation's hospitals provide high quality health care.”
CMS created the Hospital Compare Web in 2005 to give patients a means of comparing hospitals based on quality indicators.
