Its a totally incorrect assumption that if the hospitals are listed as meeting guidelines they are good.
Nowhere do they list full recovery statistics which is the only quality metric that is needed.

Visits
to a hospital or healthcare provider can be confusing. All the forms,
medical lingo and procedures can keep you from asking an important,
basic question: Am I getting quality care?
The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association want to make that question easier to answer.
For more than a decade we've worked with healthcare providers across the nation, supplying their care teams with the latest clinical treatment guidelines, with the goal of helping them provide their patients with quality care.
