The VA and Non-VA experience of tracking good care.
This study compared how well Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals perform against non-VA hospitals. Three widely referenced public health care ranking models: the U.S. News America’s Best Hospitals, Truven Health Analytics, and Hospital Compare along with the VA model were examined. The authors found that the metrics used across the 4 models are neither comparable nor transparent. They found there were 6-46% reporting deficiencies in reporting hospital metrics in non-VA hospitals, while VA reporting is 100% of their metrics. VA inpatient satisfaction fell far short of the private sector, but both sets of rankings increased over time.
