In addition, after being identified as outliers, hospital appeared to improve mortality without worsening risk avoidance. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/article-abstract/2680626 (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/article-abstract/2680626) – a survey of interventional cardiologists in public reporting states on the extent to which reporting programs have changed their and their colleagues practice.
