2008 State Snapshots – “The State Snapshots provide State-specific health care quality information, including strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. The goal is to help State officials and their public- and private-sector partners better understand health care quality and disparities in their State. State-level information used to create the State Snapshots is based on data collected for the National Healthcare Quality Report (NHQR). The State Selection Map allows you to choose your State to explore the quality of your State’s health care against national rates or best performing States. Last Updated: June 05, 2009.”
