Cal Hospital Compare

Description/Mission:

This Web site is the result of a partnership between three independent organizations dedicated to improving health care quality: The California HealthCare Foundation, the University of California at San Francisco Institute for Health Policy Studies, and the California Hospitals Assessment and Reporting Taskforce (CHART). This site includes ratings for clinical care, patient safety, and patient experience for the 216 hospitals in California that have chosen to participate in this important voluntary project. The 209 hospitals rated on this site account for 70% of all hospital admissions in California and the conditions and procedures rated (heart attack, heart failure, heart bypass surgery, pneumonia, and maternity) are the five most common reasons for being admitted to a hospital. Hospitals on this site are rated on quality and timeliness of care for several conditions, as well as patient experience with overall, medical, surgical, and maternity care, and adherence to recommended patient safety practices.  This site is bilingual in English and Spanish.
