    If you’re in the US (it is the cdc) you can look up healthcare acquired infection rates on the CMS website.

    There is also this: https://www.hospitalsafetygrade.org/. It gives a letter grade for hospitals using some of that cms data and some other required / optional metrics.

    Mind you, the data sets provided by CMS are usually 2 years old and the hospitals may have made improvements since that data. Reimbursement is tied to those rates being lower (sort of)

      To add on, sometimes accreditation organizations will post their survey results online for public review. The Joint Commission operates a site called QualityCheck.org for example. where you can search for a hospital they’ve surveyed and review their findings under certification history.
