Colorado hospitals to post report cards
Quality Improvement Monitor, June 22, 2007
Colorado consumers will be able to go online this fall to see a "report card" of hospital performance, according to the Denver Business Journal.
The site will report the number of procedures, mortality rates, and other patient safety measures, the paper said. In coming years, it will consider clinical quality, best practices, patient satisfaction scores and efficiency of care.
"This report card will be the foundation for helping the public become better informed about hospital quality factors," Steven J. Summer, president and CEO of the hospital association, said in a statement. "Ideally it will be an important building block in the transformation of our healthcare system."
