The HHS hopes that if hospitals have to let the public know what they 're to improve health care they 'll be more likely to follow the safety measures proposed to help reduce the number of deaths that occur due to complications of the surgery. But after studying the data on the hospital website Compare surgical report Archive said that doesn "t appear to be the case.
He said, approximately 325,000 hospital stays for Medicare patients who had a high risk surgery in 2,000 hospitals in 05 and 06, some hospitals met certain safety standards for about 50 percent of patients, and others have followed protocol about 0 percent of the time. However, , hospitals that followed the safety requirements didn "t have a death rate due to post surgical complications. But these hospitals had a lower rate of prolonged stays for patients.
There "s believed the reason the report didn" t show a lower mortality rate in hospitals safer because the information gathered is generally the least important safety procedures that don "t reflect really on surgical quality of a hospital.
