Hospital Data

PatientCareLink provides data about the quality and safety of hospital care. Hospitals use the data to improve care and to demonstrate to their communities that they stand accountable for their performance. Hospitals welcome transparency about their performance when measures are grounded in good science and account fairly for differences in the needs of their patients. Data reporting for our hospitals are grouped into peer groups to compare unit types in similar type hospitals. For example, unit types in acute care hospitals are compared with unit types in other similar acute care hospitals. This is also consistent for inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and long term acute care hospitals.

Staffing Plans & Reports

This section of the website is designed to show you - on a unit-by-unit basis for each hospital in the Commonwealth - who will be on staff to help you or a loved one during a hospital stay.

Performance Measures

The section of the website allows patients to track a particular hospital's efforts to meet the measure standards, and allows them to see how the hospital compares to "peer" hospitals of the same size.
