Using our doctors and hospitals information. As an informed consumer, you should use our doctors and hospitals information to help you navigate the system and get the
most from your time and money. This includes using our Hospital Ratings--based on survey responses from millions of patients from thousands of hospitals--to help ensure a good hospital experience.
In addition, the Ratings include how well a hospital follows the correct procedures to prevent surgical infections and, for
some states, the hospital's bloodstream infection rates.
