Quality data

What we share

ProHealth collects and shares data related to:

• Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Core Measures
• HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) Survey measuring patient perspectives on hospital care
• Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality (QCHQ) measures

We share all results. We don’t decide what to report on based on how it makes us look.

How to use quality data

To better understand quality data:

• Learn about each quality measure and how it relates to patient care.
• Read about how information was collected and analyzed. Are results based on nationally recognized benchmarks (standards)? Are results endorsed by reputable, unbiased organizations, such as the National Quality Forum.
• Look at results over time. One bad outcome in a quarter with relatively few procedures, for example, greatly skews results. Looking at a full year (four quarters) will provide a more accurate picture.

Remember that the data and descriptions included in quality reports don’t represent everything there is to know about the quality of hospital, clinic, home, hospice or physician-based care.

When you need to make decisions about treatment options or a hospital, talk with your doctor.
