Quality counts,
especially
when it comes to your health.
Choosing a hospital is an important decision. You
want hospital care that helps you get better with as few problems as
possible.
This might be surprising news, but all hospital care
is not the same. The quality and safety of care varies from hospital
to hospital. The hospital that you choose can impact how well you
feel during and after your medical treatment. And high quality care
doesn't necessarily cost more.
How can you know which hospital is the best choice
for the care you need? While there isn't one single source for this
information, the QualityCounts™ report is an important tool.
The QualityCounts™ report includes new information
on the quality, safety and cost for hospitals that participate with The
Alliance (Employer Health Care Alliance Cooperative).
The Alliance represents people who buy health care—employers
and consumers who want to make more informed purchasing decisions.
We've earned our members' trust as an independent source of valuable
health care information.
We hope you find the QualityCounts™ report to
be a useful part of your health care decision-making process.
