The publication will use the 3M Ambulatory Potentially Preventable Complications software in its rankings to measure outpatient outcome measures in its evaluations of hospital performance, according to a July 14 press release from 3M Health Information Systems.
“U.S. News, as a trusted decision support tool for patients, is proud to use both outpatient and inpatient outcome measures in its evaluations of hospital performance,” Ben Harder, U.S. News & World Report managing editor and chief of health analysis, said. “Specifically, U.S. News used 3M AM-PPCs software to incorporate new outcome measures, labeled ‘prevention of outpatient procedural complications,’ into this year’s Orthopedics and Urology rankings. Similar outcome measures may be added to other specialty rankings in future editions of U.S. News Best Hospitals.”
