​
     Hospitals are evaluated for quality and performance by several government, nonprofit and for-profit sources which publish periodic ratings and reviews. The criteria selected for the ratings, however, vary widely and there is no single consensus provider of information to evaluate hospital performance. Some of the measures used by the agencies and publishers reviewing hospitals include the nature and scope of their facilities, equipment and services; performance in safety procedures; consistency in treatment; morbidity, failure and re-admission rates in treating specific conditions; and surveys of patients assessing their experience with the facility, its doctors, nurses and other health personnel.

       The Joint Commission, an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1951 as The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, accredits and certifies nearly 21,000 health care organizations and programs in the US. Accreditation and certification by the Joint Commission is obtained through meeting certain performance standards, with inspections of major facilities conducted at least once every three years.
​
       Other sources of hospital information include the American Hospital Association, which sells the AHA Guide, a comprehensive directory of 6,500 US hospitals with healthcare and financial information and data compiled from its annual survey of hospitals. A for-profit data firm publishes another print and online directory, American Hospital Directory® with profiles of over 7,000 US hospitals, with some information available for free online such as Medicare claims data, discharge statistics, hospital cost and other financial reports. The New Jersey Hospital Association, the largest trade association of the state's hospitals, publishes various reports..
