Medicaid

Using the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services “Hospital Compare” website  locate the data for two hospitals of interest to you. You may choose the two that are closest to your current location (or home location if deployed), but any facilities may be chosen. Run the hospital comparison, and then carefully study each portion of the review and ratings data for the two facilities.

Then:

1.  Analyze the quality, safety, outcomes, and satisfaction data for each of the two hospitals that you selected. What stands out in the data of each hospital from a managerial and also a consumer viewpoint?

2.  What are the identified strengths and identified weaknesses of each facility in terms of their quality data?

3.  If you were the future health care manager of these facilities, how could your concerns for each facility’s data be addressed? Be specific in your explanations.
