CareChex Awards by Quantros are based on our comprehensive quality scoring system, that compares inpatient quality performance across general, acute and non-federal U.S. hospitals.
Quantros prides itself in providing the most comprehensive and objective calculation of hospital and system quality performance in the industry. Our vast datasets represent high statistical significance and do not include any self-reported or survey data. In turn, creating clearer performance differentiation across 39 clinical categories of care in Medical Excellence and Patient Safety.
The “Overall Hospital Care” clinical category consists of all inpatient medical conditions and surgical procedures, with the exception of Pancreas Transplants and Other Heart Assist System Transplants, treated/performed by full-service hospitals.
Please note that hospital or system performance in a specific clinical category does not serve as a recommendation or endorsement by Quantros for any hospitals; it means the data associated with a particular hospital or system has met the foregoing qualifications. Individual patients should decide, in conjunction with their doctor, whether a particular hospital is suited for their unique needs.
Also note that if more than one hospital reported to CMS under a single provider ID, Quantros analyzed patient outcomes data for those hospitals as a single unit.
CareChex Awards by Quantros utilizes a peer-reviewed risk-adjustment methodology to more reliably measure rates of mortality, complications and readmissions — appropriately weighting and accounting for all of the risk factors relating to a patient’s principal and secondary diagnosis, as well as other patient characteristics that may increase the probability for adverse clinical outcomes. These rankings do not include any self-reported data.
