You comparison shop for groceries, automobiles, and electronics — why shouldn't you shop for your healthcare?
Did you know that as a member of the Service Benefit Plan you can get free, independent information on hospitals in your area? Our Hospital Advisor tool connects you with a variety of metrics that gauge hospital quality and can be customized to your condition.
These quality measures include number of patients treated, hospital mortality rates (the percentage of people who died while receiving care at the facility), and a complications index (a point score based on the number and severity of complications at a hospital). The Hospital Advisor also offers grades on hospital cleanliness, scores for how well providers communicate with patients, and overall patient satisfaction ratings. All of these metrics are set against national and state averages to allow for easy comparison.
Next time you are considering an elective procedure or your doctor gives you a choice of where you will be hospitalized; use this resource to compare quality measures between hospitals.
