Abstract
Public reporting of patient outcomes is a key tool to drive improvements in health care delivery. Over the past 20 years, 3 states—New York (1991), Pennsylvania (2001), and Massachusetts (2005)—have instituted mandatory public reporting of outcomes for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The idea behind public reporting is simple: collecting and publicly reporting performance will enable patients to choose high-quality hospitals and motivate clinicians to improve performance.
