The New York State Health Accountability Foundation, a partnership between IPRO and the New York Business Group on Health, plans to release its 10th annual Health Care Report Card this fall.
Having originated as a print publication addressing the performance of New York-based HMOs only, the Report Card is now a fully interactive, online tool addressing both cost and quality for hospitals and HMOs in New York and New Jersey. The new edition of the Report Card will include for the first time patient satisfaction data derived from surveys of hospitalized Medicare patients (H-CAHPs surveys) as well as hospital-specific payment and volume data for elective DRGs and other high-utilization DRGs.
