Does Publicizing Hospital Performance Stimulate Quality Improvement Efforts?

This study evaluates the impact on quality improvement of reporting hospital performance publicly versus privately back to the hospital.

The findings from this Wisconsin-based study indicate that there is added value to making this information public.
