I gave this a try this morning using several different search criteria and the results for each hospital selected were given on a bar graph for easy comparison.  Some hospitals did not treat or supply enough data to show on every graph in a few categories.  Good tool to get a basic idea of the services and quality results by comparing side by side.  One nice small add on is the ability to use a larger font to view the pages too.

Hospital Compare - A quality tool for adults, including people with Medicare

This tool provides you with information on how well the hospitals in your area care for all their adult patients with certain medical conditions. This information will help you compare the quality of care hospitals provide. Hospital Compare was created through the efforts of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and organizations that represent hospitals, doctors, employers, accrediting organizations, other Federal agencies and the public.

Talk to your doctor about this information to help you, your family and your friends make your best hospital care decisions.
