By the Numbers Reports
As part of its data center service, SCHA has previously provided every acute care hospital with a PDF report called “By the Numbers” which includes quality of care, workforce and population health metrics. This report provides valuable benchmarking for hospitals and health systems.
Starting in the fall of 2023, The Data Center is pleased to present a new Tableau version of the By the Numbers report. This new report consists of:
- HOSPITAL MEASURES: Explore and compare measures to other SC hospitals as well as state and national benchmarks. These publicly available data are include some of the most current provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Hospitals are deidentified and your hospital’s contact has been provided a Hospital ID.
- COUNTY MEASURES: Explore and compare county measures as well as state and national benchmarks. These data are compiled from multiple sources that parallels to measures provided by by County Health Rankings. Learn more at https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/explore-health-rankings/south-carolina.
- SUMMARY OF ALL MEASURES: Printable summary of the most recent county and deidentified hospital data, measure sources, and definitions.
- SCHA LIVE HEALTHY DASHBOARDS: The highlighted measures in these dashboards are SCHA board selected measures and/or related supporting measures. SCHA has developed strategies to improve these population health measures for South Carolina. For more information visit https://livehealthy.sc.gov/.
