As patients, we all hope that the hospitals and outpatient facilities that we choose will provide the best care for us and our loved ones. But the reality is that quality, safety, and outcomes can vary dramatically depending on the facility. That is why transparency is so critical in ensuring that patients and purchasers of health care have the information needed to make important decisions.
