Advancing Health Podcast
In this Advancing Health podcast, Thomas Haederle discusses the pandemic's profound impact on CMS's Hospital Quality Measurement and Value programs.
Hospitals and health systems deliver care for people within their communities. However, every community is different. Differences in the characteristics and pre-existing conditions of a patient population impact how a hospital can best serve their locality.
Data and resources on this page provide insight into population health trends, including prevalence of chronic conditions, whether individuals have a regular caregiver, and the rate of uninsured. Additional data points provide insight on readmissions and commonness of preventative health care.
