Mayo Clinic introduces HealthLocator, a free digital platform that helps users filter and compare over 5,000 hospitals based on location, specialty, and ratings, promoting informed healthcare decisions.
Mayo Clinic announced in a press release that they have developed a digital tool to aid the public with their search for high-quality care.
The tool, HealthLocator, allows patients to filter over 5,000 hospitals by city, specialty, hospital, and rating. The goal of this tool is to empower the public to “make more informed choices about their care.”
HealthLocator is free and uses data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Sean Dowdy, M.D., Mayo Clinic's chief value officer expressed in a press release, "HealthLocator offers a clear, evidence-based view of hospital quality that aligns with Mayo Clinic's primary value: the needs of the patient come first. By helping people make informed healthcare decisions, we're improving lives."
