It was very interesting reading in the paper today that St. Luke’s Hospital is one of the nation’s top hospitals (1 of top 100 hospitals). This was related to risk adjusted mortality and complication rates according to www.healthgrades.com
The information comes from Medicare patients, and this kind of data has been reported since 1998. They compare hospitals based on one question: Did the patient experience any unexpected complications or a preventable death?
