My Company Selection Assignment is below to use as reference

The health care company that I chose for my research paper is the Mayo Clinic. It is a non-profit worldwide organization with dozens of locations in several states. Its major campuses are located in Rochester, MD; Scottsdale, and Phoenix AZ; and Jacksonville, FL. It was founded

in 1889 and the current President is John H. Noseworthy, M.D.

The reason why I selected this company is because it is a well-known and respected company. The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as one of the best hospitals in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report. (Mayo Clinic, 2016)

The Mayo Clinic website says they measure their results by looking at outcome measures, process measures, patient satisfaction and quality rankings. (Mayo Clinic, 2016) Outcome results are measures that are result oriented. Some of the outcome results include the mortality rate, readmission rates, patient safety indicators and transplant quality indicators. The processes results are used to evaluate if the specific process provide effective and timely care. Patient satisfaction asses the quality of care services offered to both inpatient and outpatient results by asking the patients questions.
