The Texas Business Group on Health's Texas Hospital Checkup
has been a valuable tool for employers and consumers that enabled access
to comparative hospital performance reports for your area. In order to
bring you the most up-to-date information, several other hospital comparison
tools are replacing the Texas Hospital Checkup. Explore these tools below
to discover the information you need. If there are any comments or questions,
please feel free to provide us with your feedback below.

Compare This tool is provided by the US Department
of Health & Human Services and gives you information that helps
you compare the quality of care provided in the hospitals that agree
to submit data on the quality of certain services they provide for
certain conditions. This quality information not only helps you make
good decisions about your health care, but also encourages hospitals
to improve the quality of health care they provide. |

PricePoint This site is sponsored by the Texas Hospital
Association and was created to provide basic demographic, quality
