Baylor is committed to public transparency regarding its performance across Core Measures of health care quality processes as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Joint Commission.

Core Measures were developed to improve the quality of health care through the implementation of a national, standardized performance measurement system. They have been shown to reduce the risk of complications, prevent recurrences, and otherwise treat patients who come to a hospital with a certain condition or illness.
