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.
Hospital
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.
Texas
PricePoint This site is sponsored by the Texas Hospital
Association and was created to provide basic demographic, quality
and charge information on Texas hospitals and to promote consumer/hospital
interaction. On this site you will find charge data on the most
common inpatient services, links to quality data, and general and
contact information for Texas hospitals.
Texas
Health Care Information Collection Hospital Indicators This
tool is provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services
and includes information on hospitals, including reports on hospitals
and health care, hospital discharge data (both Texas Public Use
Data File (PUDF) and data for research), and hospital data reporting
requirements. It also provides information on Health Maintenance
Organizations, including reports and HMO data reporting requirements.
Leapfrog
Group Each year, Leapfrog gathers and reports information
on hospital quality and patient safety efforts to help patients
make informed decisions about where to receive hospital care. This
tool allows you to get information on hospitals in your area by
hospital name, city, or zip code.

Health
Grades Use this tool to find hospital ratings for various
hospitals and cities. Get access to award recipients and quality
ratings (1 to 5 stars) on the most popular medical conditions. You
can also access comprehensive reports including ratings, costs,
patient volumes, and patient safety.
Dartmouth
Atlas This tool offers comprehensive information and analysis
about national, regional, and local markets, as well as individual
hospitals and their affiliated physicians, in order to provide a
basis for improving health and health systems. You can find state,
region, and hospital-specific data and download prepared tables
or make your own tables and graphs.
WhyNotTheBest.org
This is a free resource developed by The Commonwealth Fund which
provides data on hospital performance across two dozen measures
of recommended care, and links users to improvement resources directly
related to those measures, connecting them to hands-on tools they
can put into practice. WhyNotTheBest.org also lets users search
for and compare hospitals with similar characteristics, such as
region, ownership, size, and type (such as safety net, teaching
hospital). Benchmark comparisons show how a hospital measures up
against others in the same state, the top 10 percent, or the national
average. IPRO, a not-for-profit health care evaluation and quality
improvement organization, conducted all data analysis and Web development
for the site.
