If data is only available from New York, hospitals are compared only to other hospitals in New York. If national data are available, the New York hospital score will be compared to all hospitals in the United States. The better-performing scores on this website are at the top of the list, and green always signifies higher performance than the national rate. For some measures, a higher score is better for others, lower is better. If we find a significant variation, we mark it with a green symbol ("better than") or a red symbol ("worse than"). Where possible, we analyze the variation of these scores to see if any scores are significantly better than or worse than the national or state average. For example, a hospital scoring 0.8 is less than the national standard 1.0. Ratio: Scores marked as ratios are compared to a national standard rate of 1.0.For example, 20 infections per 1,000 hours equals 0.02. Rates: Scores marked as rates are the number of times something occurred divided by 1,000.
