The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has launched a tool, Comparing Healthcare Quality: A National Directory, allowing consumers to peruse reports and information on hospitals through a centralized database.
The RWJF's purpose in creating the tool is to allow the public to have easy access to reliable information on quality of care in their communities, according to the news release.
The database currently houses 182 state and local public reports and 26 national reports.
To use the database, simply enter a state name into the search box and select a report from the titles, which appear beneath the search bar.
