Assignment: Compare the quality of a high-cost and a low-cost facility.

Question 1: What is the best quality measure you can find to compare the quality of medical care you are likely to receive at Elliot Hospital (a high-cost facility) versus St. Joseph's Hospital (a low-cost facility) for gall bladder surgery? For this question do not examine the values for the quality measure, just consider which available measure in theory would be most informative for you when selecting a provider.

Question 2: How useful do you think this quality measure would be in helping you decide whether to spend the extra money to receive care at Elliot Hospital rather than St. Joseph's Hospital? Why? (Report the specific values for each of the two hospitals for your chosen quality measure and assess the utility of that information.)
