Consumer Reports released their most recent analysis of hospital infection data last week showing that many well-known teaching hospitals are performing poorly in CR's Ratings and putting patients at risk. (Their hospital Ratings are now free to all consumers.) CR released the story in conjunction with a CDC press conference about antibiotic resistance, which included Tom Frieden, M.D., CDC director, and Peter Pronovost, M.D., from Johns Hopkins Hospital. CR's timely and relevant content was referenced in the first question from the media when an NBC News reporter asked about Johns Hopkins' low score in preventing the hospital-acquired infection, C. diff. This story is part of CR's ongoing hospital safety coverage.
