New Hospital View in
the Mapping Medicare Disparities Tool
![]()
CMS OMH has expanded the Mapping Medicare Disparities (MMD) Tool to
include a Hospital View! Based on feedback from users, the MMD tool
now allows users to compare health outcomes and quality measures between
hospitals. The new Hospital View enables users to compare quality at the
hospital level in their communities by specific measures, such as avoidable
hospitalizations and 30-day readmission rates.
We have also added cancer metrics
to the Population View, so users may view health outcome, spending, and
utilization rates across cancer types.
Why use our MMD Tool? View and
download maps and data files to learn more about health outcomes in your
community! The free, web-based Mapping Medicare Disparities (MMD) Tool
provides health outcome measures for disease prevalence, costs, and
hospitalization for 55 specific chronic conditions, emergency department
utilization, readmissions rates, mortality rates, and preventable
hospitalizations.
If you have questions or would
like more information about the tool, please email us at HealthEquityTA@cms.hhs.gov.
