You can use this database to find hospitals in your area, and a few big ones in the city, to see how they did on 65 different measures of hospital performance. Choose to see all the data on one hospital using the box on the left or by clicking on one hospital on the map. Or you can first choose a category of measure -- mortality rates, for example -- and then a condition in the box on the right to get a table of all the hospitalsĂ­ scores on that one measure. If you are in an individual hospital page and a single datapoint catches your eye, click on the description to see the scores of all hospitals. Data released in October 2012 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. (Read more about this data)
