چکیده
ublic reporting of comparative quality performance measurements of healthcare providers is a recent U.S. and world trend: not a fad. While there are significant benefits to be derived from such an initiative, there are staggering hurdles that must be overcome as well.

As Canada and its provinces consider public reporting of performance measurements, I believe there are lessons to be learned from the Cleveland experience.
