Report: Most states fail to provide access to physician quality information

Forty states and Washington, D.C., earned an “F” when graded on how well they provided access to physician quality information, according to a report released by the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute. The grades are based on the percentage of clinicians with quality information that is publicly available and how accessible and useful that information is to consumers.

 

Of the remaining states, Minnesota and Washington earned an “A”; Maine and California earned a “B”; Massachusetts and Wisconsin earned a “C”; and Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, and Oregon earned a “D”.
