BayCare Clinic cares about quality. The Clinic's objective is to provide patients and employers with Quality Data in an understandable format.
As a minority owner of Aurora BayCare Medical Center, BayCare Clinic is interested in the quality processes of the hospital. The Medical Center has its own nurses and other personnel, of course, who are under its supervision, and not the Clinic's. Nevertheless, quality components are intertwined between hospital and Clinic, so measurements of hospital quality often provide a sense of clinic quality and vice-versa.
In addition, although BayCare Clinic's physicians do not control hospital employees, its specialists require the full collaboration of their hospital to pursue quality goals, and naturally the hospital requires the full collaboration of its specialists.
At the hospital and at the Clinic, quality measurements are evolving rapidly. BayCare Clinic and Aurora BayCare Medical Center are investing resources independently into improving quality measurements and reporting.

There are a variety of websites which the public can access that provide information about the quality of services provided by hospitals. Many of these sites allow you to compare measurement results amongst area hospitals. BayCare Clinic is proud to be an integral partner in achieving the results reported for the Aurora BayCare Medical Centers.
