Improving hospital patient safety

Asuris shares the desire to have your patients receive the best care and the most positive outcomes possible. The following hospital comparison tools are available to help you select hospitals for your patients:

 

2008 Leapfrog Group Hospital Survey ranks hospitals according to evidence-based quality and safety practices. Leapfrog, a non-profit organization of physicians, hospitals, employers and members, has been surveying hospitals since 2001. We encourage all hospitals to participate in the Leapfrog survey process. Surveys may be obtained from Leapfrog.

 

Our hospital comparison tool, available to members on myAsuris.com, uses data from Leapfrog and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The site identifies the hospital's patient safety practices, including computer physician order entry, intensive care unit staffing, and infection and mortality rates by procedure type and volume. In addition, information on hospital characteristics may be obtained.
