In an article published yesterday, Janice Simmons wonders if hospital rankings are true measures of quality.
Each year since 1990, U.S. News & World Report has ranked more than 5,000 hospitals in a variety of categories. They present a "Top 50" in each one, with the goal of helping consumers select the hospital that is right for them. However, a study recently published in the Annals of Internal Medicine claims that the standings do not really reflect objective measures of quality.
Tell us what you think - are rankings true quality measures?
