As of April 2007 the Ohio Department of Health requires Ohio hospitals to report semi-annual data with the ultimate goal of making this data available to all Ohioans. The Department is currently collecting six measures endorsed by the Joint Commission, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the National Quality Forum regarding heart attacks, heart failure and pneumonia. In addition, the Department is collecting five Patient Safety Indicators created by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality regarding surgical procedures. The information reported by the hospitals is now available in the report below.
