Review the CMS.gov 30-Day Mortality and Readmission Data website. Review at least two local hospitals in N.J. and see how

they compare to state and national benchmarks. How and why may a consumer or a health care professional use this data to

make decision about their next hospitalization? Will reporting this data have an impact on hospitals bottom line in

addition to financial penalties from CMS? Give at least two examples of how this data may be used and what type of impact

if may have if at all on the hospitals.
