A new website launches today that makes it a cinch for patients to research Illinois hospitals and surgery centers.
The Hospital Report Card and Consumer Guide will let people look up which hospital has performed the most heart transplants, for example.
Consumers can learn the median price for a colonoscopy or find out which hospitals cut corners by using nurses aides instead of RNs.
All that information and much more goes live at 9 a.m. today at www.healthcarereportcard.illinois.gov.
