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:

I was just happy to see that Henry ford beat out Beaumont on most issues.
