For its 2013 hospital quality outcomes analysis, Healthgrades evaluated approximately
40 million Medicare hospitalization records for services performed from 2009
through 2011 at approximately 4,500 short-term, acute care hospitals
nationwide. Healthgrades independently measures hospitals based on data that
hospitals submit to the federal government. No hospital can opt in or out of
being measured, and no hospital pays to be measured. Mortality and complication
rates are risk adjusted, which takes into account each hospital’s unique
population (demographics and severity of illness).
