What Makes Us Different: Outcome-Based Hospital Recommendations
Rather than rely on referrals or biased online reviews, find hospitals within your insurance policy that are proven to provide better patient outcomes.
A Data-Driven Approach
Here are some of the quantitative factors we consider.
Length of Stay
For complex procedures, the average length of stay doubles when you go to a suboptimal hospital.
Complications
Over 30% of surgeries result in a post-operative complication. The quality of the hospital protocols shape outcomes.
Readmissions
Poor recovery conditions and hospital-acquired infections lead to unplanned readmissions and increased mortality.
Selecting the wrong hospital increases the risk of death by up to 12 times.
Most people pick a surgeon and then have their procedure done at whatever hospital that surgeon is affiliated with. However, the data doesn’t support this approach. Serious complication rates for the same procedure vary widely among hospitals more than among surgeons. Consider the following example.
If you go to the lowest-rated vs highest-rated hospital in South Florida, you have:
31 times
The risk of bloodstream infection
9 times
The risk of colon surgery infection
7 times
The risk of respiratory failure
