Highlights

• Informed Decisions enables individuals to compare and select the best hospital for their individual needs. These unique, side-by-side comparisons are based on crucial evidence-based measures such as patient volume, mortality rates, unfavorable outcomes and cost.
• Through Informed Decisions, you now have an opportunity to have a powerful impact on the cost and quality of the medical care and treatment provided to you and your family. You can now accomplish in 5 minutes what it would have taken a very dedicated and determined individual many weeks to research just a few years ago.
• Medical quality decision support tools such as Informed Decisions are as important as any recent medical breakthrough. The program is designed to give consumers easy access to nearly 200 reports on serious medical conditions and surgical procedures in communities across the United States.
• Informed Decisions has been established to make access to vital information possible for all people with a need to know more about health choices and medical quality… for themselves or for a family.
