How are we measured by others?

People want the best possible health care and results. You want to know about your doctor or hospital before you receive care. If you need surgery or a test, wouldn't it help to know how your health provider compares to others?

A number of national organizations are focusing on quality measures. These organizations track high quality goals and measures. They report our results along with those of other participating hospitals and health care systems.

These organizations make us better - we can see how we compare with others across the country and look at how we can improve.

Who are these organizations reporting and comparing our results with others? They include the following:

• Premier, Inc., a national health care alliance
• Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Project
• The Wisconsin Hospital Association's CheckPoint quality initiative
• The Leapfrog Group
• The Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality
