Hospital Ratings: A Guide for the Perplexed.
- Authors
Zuger, Abigail
- Abstract
The article focuses on the hospital ratings guide launched by the American media company, U.S. News & World Report. It analyses the hospital's score in several specialties including ophthalmology, psychiatry and rheumatology, and mentions that the U.S. News ratings do not analyze the data contributed by outpatient medical care and emergency department visits. It states that the report does not specify how the hospital ratings should be communicated to the patients by their physicians.
