A new CDC website, titled “Hospital Compare,” allows visitors to see statistics for how hospitals are dealing with hospital borne infections, such as C. Diff and MRSA.  The data reflects only hospital-onset infections (those detected after patients are hospitalized for a minimum of three days) that were recorded in the first quarter of 2013.  The site also provides a wealth of statistics in other hospital categories, such as readmission rates and mortality rates, broken down by the reason for hospitalization.

You can visit the site and examine your local hospitals here.
