Evaluating & Comparing Hospital Performance

[MrChicagoRN, RN]

The days of going to your local community hospital is pretty much gone.

Consumers today often select their health care facility by publically available satisfaction and quality indicators.

There is a great amount of information out there, including Press-Ganey, HCAPS, CMS, a state's Hospital Report Card, etc.

However these tools seem to exist only for medical facilities. Does anyone have a line on obtaining similar data from free standing mental health.Behavioral Health facilities?

Great question. I don't have any answers other than looking up the corporations that run the facility. Looking forward to the other replies though!
