Ohio State University puts hospital stats online

Ohio State University Medical Center made it a bit easier to find hospital data that consumers would be interested in. The hospital put this information--most of which it already reports to the federal government--on its Web site. The hospital is the first in the Columbus area to post this information online. The other three hospital systems said that they plan to do so in the coming months. The goal, OSU officials say, is to give consumers more information so they can make better choices about where they get their healthcare.
