Some scores show that MUSC is below the national averages or benchmarks. Is that bad?
We are showing the most common indicators, regardless of our scores. It is important for you to be able to compare us to other hospitals. It also is important for us to see the areas where we fall behind, so that we know what to improve. No hospital is going to receive a perfect score; we want to be honest in presenting all the data. By continuously reviewing these scores and data, we are able to concentrate our quality improvement efforts in the right areas.
