To begin exploring the data, please do the following:
Select up to 6 measures (Hospital-wide readmission is selected by default).
Create up to 4 hospital profiles (in addition to the default profile of all hospitals).
Measure results for each measure and hospital profile are displayed on the graph below.

DATA NOTES
Only hospitals with at least 25 qualifying hospitalizations for a given measure are included in the visualization.
Beginning with the 2019 reporting year, the stroke readmission measure was removed from this data visualization because this measure is no longer reported in the Inpatient Quality Reporting Program (IQR). This measure’s results are still available in reporting years prior to 2019.
Additional data source(s) include:
2018 IPPS IMPACT file |
American Hospital Association (AHA) Survey 2016 |
