Children's hospital upping transparency with site

Children's hospital upping transparency with site

Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, based in Palo Alto, Calif., announced its new Web site that allows patients to view performance data.
Visitors to the site will be able to see reports on six quality measures—mortality rates, 31-day readmission rates, catheter-associated bloodstream infection rates in the pediatric intensive-care unit, and rates on the likelihood that patients would recommend Lucile Packard to other families for inpatient, obstetric and clinic care.
The 260-bed hospital said that it will add additional performance measures in the future as it continues to focus on patient safety and quality issues.
