Not necessarily. The measures are reported on one specific aspect of care. The care patients receive at a hospital depends on many different factors. The Quality Report is one tool to assist individuals in selecting health care services. Individuals should discuss the Quality Report and its contents with their health care providers to help them make informed choices.
