Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic launched a digital tool that allows patients to compare hospitals based on quality metrics.
HealthLocator is a free tool that uses publically available CMS data on clinical quality, hospital patient safety, associated infection metrics and patient experience to rate more than 5,000 U.S. hospitals, according to an Oct. 30 system news release. Learn more about the methodology here.
The tool allows users to search by city, specialty or hospital and compare hospitals based on performance.
“HealthLocator offers a clear, evidence-based view of hospital quality that aligns with Mayo Clinic’s primary value: the needs of the patient come first,” Sean Dowdy, MD, Mayo’s chief value officer, said in the release. “By helping people make informed healthcare decisions, we’re improving lives.”
