View Hospital Quality Care Data

A new government Website, Hospital Compare, allows consumers to gauge how consistently hospitals provide specific treatments to compare the quality of care at hospitals across the country.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services selected measures proven to improve outcomes for three common health problems – heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia – as the starting point for consumers. Health & Human Services plans to increase the number of treatments it measures.

While Memorial Hermann has focused on clinical quality improvement for many years, ongoing quality initiatives throughout our organization continue to raise our standard of excellence.

We support increased transparency and accountability for healthcare quality performance and are committed to using this measurement tool, along with others, to help us maintain clinical excellence.

Hospital Compare posts information on ten quality measures based on data hospitals are required to report to the government. It also posts data on another seven optional measures. It’s important to note that the data reported on the Website is at least one year old.
