Great site to view and see how some hospitals are making information available in a fairly simple format to quickly review. As a short note, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center was listed as one of the "Most Wired" hospitals recently. Their IT manager made the recent list of top 100 CIOs in all information technology.... and...their CEO is also an avid Internet blogger who brings a lot of human interest and general happening information to his blog as well. It appears everyone here is making the effort to reach out and communicate in the effort of better health care. If you have not see the blog from Paul Levy, you can click here to take a look. A+ for effort all the way....BD
As health consumers across the country demand better and more detailed information about their physicians and hospitals, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) is stepping up to detail its own performance efforts ranging from the percentage of clinicians who clean their hands to the number of times physicians take the proper steps in treating heart attack patients.
A new section of BIDMC's web site, "The Facts: Putting Ourselves Under A Microscope," (http://www.bidmc.harvard.edu/thefacts) offers the public a chance to see how BIDMC measures up with hospital-wide programs, such as reducing infections and patient satisfaction, as well as in specific areas of clinical care. Initially, there are measurements for heart, pneumonia, surgical and orthopedic care, although the site will be expanded over time to include a longer list of clinical departments.
