HOSPITAL QUALITY RANKINGS A KIND OF GOOGLE MASHUP OF HOSPITAL RATINGS AND PERFORMANCE






Looking for a good hospital for your next medical emergency? Have you ever seen Chicago Crime Mashup, a so called Google mashup where information from the Chicago crime database is tied with Google Maps. You click on the location and you can find out about crime in the area you clicked on. Well here is a sort of Google mashup of hospital ratings. A mashup of Google maps with hospital quality rankings.



A hospital quality ranking tool may be interesting to look at. A site which uses Google maps and government data, you put in a zip code and you get a map with circles representing hospitals in the area. By pointing to the circle you find the rankings for the hospital.It ranks hospital protocol in four categories: heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care improvement/surgical infection prevention.



The site warns that "This tool should not be used to make medical decisions - check the original data source (HHS Hospital Search) and discuss hospital options with your physician to select the best hospital for you".
