I am curious if other folks are checking the rating of the hospitals they are having procedures performed in? If so how do you feel about the rating and did it affect your decision to go to that facility?
The reason for my question is I was about to have a surgery at a hospital until I found out it had a poor rating from three different services! BCBS gave it three stars out of possible ten, Dept of Health & Human Services also ranked it one star out of five, and HealthGrades.com gave it a poor rating period! There were high rates of complications, infections, and an assortment of issues I did not like. So have others checked these ratings or have I just lost all my marbles??? Do they have rating systems in other countries? All my experience is here in the US and the ratings I am speaking of are in the states for all the international posters..
