The California Hospital Assessment and Reporting Taskforce (CHART) - CalHospitalCompare.org
MemorialCare Medical Centers is pleased to have been a pilot member in this important voluntary reporting initiative.

The California Hospital Assessment and Reporting Taskforce (CHART) was established to develop a collaborative, comprehensive, statewide online hospital performance reporting system. The focus of CHART is to report the performance of individual California hospitals in a standard, easy-to-understand format. At MemorialCare, we strongly support public reporting of hospital data to help consumers make informed choices. For many years, we have been voluntarily reporting our clinical outcomes on the care we deliver to the public.
