Quality Differentiates Providers in a Competitive Marketplace

If your hospital were known as "The Best," what could you accomplish?

Hospital quality is increasingly driving reimbursement, network inclusion, physician preference and consumer choice.

When a hospital has been highly rated by HealthGrades, or has received one of HealthGrades’ awards, that hospital has the opportunity to partner with HealthGrades and participate in the Strategic Quality Initiative program.

Under the program, HealthGrades’ consultants provide strategic business-development tools and quality-analysis solutions to help top-performing hospitals sustain and communicate their high-quality at the service line or overall hospital level. As part of this program, hospitals license the ability to reproduce their HealthGrades ratings and awards in their marketing and advertising.
