The Comparative Guide to American Hospitals provides a snapshot profile of each of the nations 4,300+ hospitals. These informative profiles illustrate how the hospital rates when providing 24 different treatments within four broad categories:

Each profile includes the raw percentage for that hospital, the state average, the US average and data on the top hospital.

These profiles will allow the user to quickly identify the quality of the hospital and have the necessary information at their fingertips to make contact with that hospital.
Most importantly, The Comparative Guide to American Hospitals provides easy-to-use Regional State by State Statistical Summary Tables for each of the data elements to allow the user to quickly locate hospitals with the best level of service. Plus, a new 30-Day Mortality Chart, Glossary of Terms and Regional Hospital Profile Index make this a must-have source.
