CareChex Medical Quality Rating System

CareChex® is an innovative medical quality rating system designed to assist hospitals in improving the quality of inpatient care and promoting medical excellence to consumers, payers, and employers. Relying on both public and proprietary measures of performance, CareChex compares the quality of hospital and physician care to national, state, and local standards using a variety of process, outcome, and patient satisfaction measures to assign a composite quality score and rating.  Unlike other rating systems, CareChex provides a comprehensive, multidimensional analysis of medical quality.

  • Core Process Measures 
  • Patient Safety Indicators
