Chex Awards by Quantros are based on our patent-pending quality scoring system, which compares inpatient quality performance across all general, acute care, non-federal hospitals in the nation.
Relying on both public and proprietary measures of performance, CareChex compares the quality of hospital and physician care to national and state standards using a variety of clinical indicators to assign a proprietary Composite Quality Score and Rating¹.
