USA, hospital quality
Segundo estudo do HealthGrades - The Twelfth Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study October 2009, link a principal entidade de avaliação independente de saúde dos EUA, publicado neste mês (Out), a probabilidade dos utentes dos hospitais com melhores resultados morrerem é 52% inferior ao que acontece na média dos hospitais americanos, um indicador de qualidade que se tem mantido inalterável durante a última década.
Não faltam outros indicadores surpreendentes neste estudo comparativo da qualidade dos HHs dos EUA, cuja leitura/consulta vivamente se recomenda.

.../ The study also found that hospitals that have received the Stroke Certification from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) had an eight percent lower risk-adjusted mortality rate than hospitals that have not received this certification.
O que não é de estranhar, passe a publicidade.
HealthGrades' Hospital Ratings
HealthGrades rates each of the nation's 5,000 nonfederal hospitals in nearly 30 procedures and diagnoses, allowing individuals to compare their local hospitals online at www.healthgrades.com. The ratings are objective, created from data provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and 17 states that publish outcomes data. HealthGrades' hospital ratings are independently created; no hospital can opt-in or opt-out of being rated. No hospital pays to be rated. Each hospital receives a one-, three- or five-star rating for each procedure or diagnosis, reflecting the mortality or complication rates at that hospital. Mortality and complication rates are risk-adjusted, which takes into account differing levels of severity of patient illness at different hospitals and allows for hospitals to be compared on equal footing.
A propósito...
Que é feito do Hospital Ratings que a nossa ERS adquiriu cuja implementação devia ter início a partir de Janeiro do corrente ano?
Mais um para a gaveta.
Neste caso talvez tenha sido melhor assim...
