What This Chart Tells You
If you have a heart attack, your survival and recovery will depend in part on eight important quality measures, or steps a hospital can take. We report our results to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
You may want to visit the CMS website to view other quality data for Vanderbilt and other hospitals.
