IHP 604 Module Three Activity Guidelines and Rubric

You will review the Hospital Compare video, which explains how to use the comparison tool available on the What Is Hospital Compare? website, and assess hospital performance in three main categories:

 Patient experience rating  Complication rates  Readmissions/deaths (heart attacks and heart failure)

Select three hospitals (one of these hospitals could be your own) in any state and compare to the national benchmarks listed in the Hospital Compare Example document. Only use the example as a guide to document your findings. Keep in mind that not all hospitals may report all items.
