Hospital Ratings in Southeast Michigan

Interesting article in a special magazine section of the Ann Arbor News today: ratings of hospitals in entire US.

St. Joe's Mercy in Pontiac came out ahead of all others. I've had family members there, and I must agree - it's a wonderful hospital. Great nurses!!
One nurse there in CCU actually was the big inspiration for me to leave teaching and go into nursing.

I agree, the article is quite interesting as it showed data on area hospitals one may not have expected to see. I also find that measuring outcomes based on specific quality indicators do make more sense than ranking hospitals based on the number of big names on the medical staff roster. I wonder if there are weaknesses on data collection or analysis that anyone can point out? For a link to the actual site, click on this:
