The United States Department of Health and Human Services has established a web site which allows consumers to obtain data compiled about treatment provided at hospitals throughout the country. It is hoped that this information will allow consumers to make informed decisions as to which hospitals provide the best medical treatment. The site allows the consumer to compare care at various hospitals, thus motivating hospitals to improve the quality of their health care. Such informed choices will undoubtedly lead to fewer medical complications and fewer medical mistakes. Take advantage of this information source and visit:
