HealthGrades:
Rating health care providers to assure quality
NJHCQI has partnered with HealthGrades - a national leader in health care quality information - to bring user-friendly and the most up-to-date health care quality information to New Jersey's consumers.
Using its objective health care provider ratings and expert advisory services, HealthGrades works with providers, employers, payers, and patients to offer targeted information that can promote the utilization of quality health care.
When more and better information is made available publicly, everyone gains:
- Consumers are offered reliable information to evaluate and select providers.
- Providers frequently assess and enhance their care.
- Employers and other payers lower health care costs by identifying opportunities to improve the quality of care provided to their employees or members.
The NJHCQI/HealthGrades partnership makes it possible:
- to see previously restricted information about physicians, such as whether a physician has been professionally sanctioned
- to search for a physician by specialty or geographic location
- to search for a hospital by procedure or diagnosis, geographic location, and HealthGrades ratings
- for consumers to provide rating and feedback information about their physicians and the quality of care they receive
NJHCQI provides this information - and much more - on the quality of health care providers in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, including all hospitals and physicians, at www.njhcqi.org. And NJHCQI provides this information free of charge!
Please note that HealthGrades is not a referral service and does not recommend or endorse any particular Healthcare Provider.
The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs also provides information on physicians. You can access that information by going to www.njconsumeraffairs.gov.
