Choosing Quality Health Care
Quality measure information is one indicator of care to consider when
choosing a hospital for yourself or a loved one. Use information from
other consumer resources as well. A variety of information can also
help you define quality for yourself according to what is most important
to you.
When visiting a hospital, take a “guide” or checklist, it will
prompt you to ask pertinent questions that will help you choose quality health
care. You can make quality health care choices by becoming an informed consumer.
