* Process quality data is based on the hospital's frequency of following best practices or processes that have been shown through research to deliver the best results for most patients. So for example, national research shows that giving patients an antibiotic within one hour before surgery reduces their risk of developing infections related to the surgery. Because patients tend to do better when this process is followed, this is an industry-wide quality measure. This data reflects the average of all CMS scores as reported on CMS Hospital Compare.
