Patient Safety Measures
Readmission, Complications, and Deaths
Hospitals are ranked No Different, Better, or Worse than US National Rate.
Lower percentages are better.
Healthcare Associated Infections
Lower numbers are better.
| 2016 - June 2017 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. National Average | JMCGH Hospital Compare Data | JMCGH Internal Data | |
| Surgical site infections from colon surgery (SSI: Colon) No different than US National Rate | 1 | 0.577 | 0.470 |

Laboratory-identified
Events
(Bloodstream infections) No different than US National Rate | 1 | 1.101 | 1.255 |
| Clostridium difficile (C.diff.) Laboratory-identified Events (Intestinal
infections) Better than US National Rate | 1 | 0.788 | 0.839 |
Infection data is measured using a Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR), which is the number of infections divided by predicted infections.
Use of Medical Imaging
Lower numbers are better except for the follow-up mammogram statistic where 8% - 14% is better.
