About the Hospital Value Index™
The Data Advantage Hospital Value Index™ is a new comprehensive index to measure the relative value of care that hospitals provide to patients.
The Hospital Value Index™ analyzed more than 1,500 general acute-care hospitals in America's 100 largest cities, serving approximately 180 million consumers,
to offer the most comprehensive picture of a hospital's value to date by measuring its success in four key areas:
- Quality of its care, including core processes and patient safety;
- Efficiency of its care and affordability, including the prices it charges;
- Experience encountered by its patients as measured by patient satisfaction; and
- Comprehensive reputation of a hospital as measured by local public perception.
