Communicating Hospital Infection Data to the Public: A Study of Consumer Responses and Preferences
American Journal of Medical Quality, 03/19/09
Mazo KM et al. - There is growing interest in public reporting of health care performance data relating to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). This study evaluated different approaches for reporting hospital-level comparative data on HAIs and the extent to which such data might influence hospital choice. Eight versions of a report were developed, varying whether data were consistent across indicators, whether data were presented in text or graphs, and whether confidence intervals were included.
