Hospital Compare update

The American Hospital Association is indicating that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will be updating data on their Hospital Compare Web site on Wednesday, July 8. According to AHA, the USA TODAY has received an advance copy of the data and other Gannett newspapers may have access as well. The USA Today has contacted hospitals outside of Missouri about their data, however there are currently no reports from Missouri hospitals of media contact.

Talking points on prior Hospital Compare updates are available on MHAnet.

AHA has issued a Quality Advisory related to the data.

More information will follow as the date approaches.
