Health Grades Company Description
Health Grades (which does business as HealthGrades) takes the health care industry to school. The company offers report cards on hospitals, physicians, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospice programs, and other health care providers. It sells the quality and patient safety information to a number of constituencies, including consumers, health plans, employers, and liability insurance companies. Hospitals themselves represent its biggest customer base, however; providers can license HealthGrades' ratings and trademarks (its Distinguished Hospital Award, for instance) to use in their marketing campaigns. They also come to the company for quality improvement consulting.
