I’m not sure where you get your information and I do take what they post with a grain of salt, but they do a lot of testing as well as consumer feedback. We have gotten a lot of helpful info from CR.
As with anything, you can buy what is considered the most reliable and still get a lemon as even the most favorable products have failures.
If I understood correctly the information used to determine the hospitals safety was gathered from data the hospital keeps on actual situations it does not get into actual specialty areas but instead infections, readmissions, communications and scanning.
I noticed you posted favorably of Mass general, they were down near the bottom as well for Mass. Hospitals.
How safe a hospital is has nothing to do with how it performs it’s duties to diagnose and fix people.
