Abstract
Several approaches to measuring the quality of hospital care have been suggested. We propose the simple and objective approach of using the health related data of the patient administration systems and the laboratory results that have been collected and stored electronically in hospitals for years. Imaginative manipulation of this data can give new insights into the quality of patient care.
