NYS Department of Health Quality Measures

NYS Department of Health hospital quality measures indicate how well a hospital provides care for its patients. Measurements on this Web site currently relate to:

heart conditions
pneumonia care
surgical infection prevention
performance of coronary artery bypass graft, angioplasty  or pediatric heart surgery

While these measures have been proven the most useful indicators of quality care, a hospital's overall quality cannot be expressed by its scores on these measures alone.

You are encouraged to use the information available here to begin conversations with your doctor, hospital representatives, or other health care professionals, as well as with family members, friends, and associates who may have direct experience with a hospital. We have provided a checklist of other information that can be of value when choosing a hospital. <CLICK HERE>

If you have a complaint about the quality of the medical care <click here> you or a loved one received at a hospital, first contact the hospital's patient advocate or contact your state Quality Improvement Organization.
