AHRQ - Mortality Measures
Clinical measures have been identified by The Joint Commission as being important indicators of care quality. A process of care measure shows how often hospitals give recommended treatments that are known to get the best results for patients. Risk-adjusted mortality measures are a quality indicator of hospital performance.
