Mountain States Health Alliance (MSHA) in Tennessee has commenced posting their quality scores to their Web site (www.msha.com)- making public their safety and performance information compared to national and state averages.
Quality scores are available for each MSHA hospital providing care for Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Pneumonia and Surgery. The Web site will be updating each month and additional safety measures will be added in near future.
