Now on Kaiser Health News' blog, Jordan Rau reports: " Judge not, that ye be not judged. Irked by the growing number of report cards assessing the quality of hospitals, a New York State hospital association has taken this biblical admonition to heart by putting out a report card grading the quality of hospital graders. Five of the 10 report cards that were evaluated were given low marks" (Rau, 11/4). Check out what else is on the blog.
