If I was in flyover country without a contact and needed emergency services how would I research the best hospital in a pinch? If you read Consumer Reports or a major newspaper, of course, you would run to the nearest handy dandy hospital report card and pick out the facility with the A grade.

It’s not that I don’t believe there are excellent performers. Of course, I do. It’s just that we don’t have good enough measurements to stack them out all proper in the here and now. And I know that because I live on the front lines–just like most of you. I see how imprecise the whole enterprise is. That’s not a knock. It is what it is. Bummer.
