Health Care Co. Launches Hospital-Ranking Database

By Elizabeth Christensen

Albany, NY – A health care company has launched a new web tool that allows consumers to research hospitals in their area.

The Excellus website now offers a database where consumers can find out the number of procedures a hospital does, the number of successful surgeries, and surveys of patient satisfaction.

Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, the chief medical officer for Excellus Health Plan, says the excellus site is more in-depth than similar databases because it covers a wider area and gives visitors 2 or more years of data on any given hospital.
