This summary discusses findings from a 2007 National Health Policy Conference examining the impact of public reporting on hospital performance. Led by Christopher Queram, the research investigates whether transparency in performance metrics leads to improved quality of care. The study analyzed Wisconsin hospitals through an experimental design funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, revealing substantial improvements in maternity performance among hospitals with previously poor scores. Key factors for enhancement include public reporting, professional pride, and effective leadership.
