Checkpoint

National guidelines recommend certain treatment measures for patients hospitalized with a heart attack, heart failure, or pneumonia. These measures are proven to give patients the best possible results. The Wisconsin Hospital Association's Checkpoint reports tell how our hospitals compare with others in the state in carrying out the recommended treatment measures.
