The Fitht Estate

From the beginning of our lives to the end, Canadians place great trust in our hospitals – and a great deal of money. Canada’s hospital budget is a staggering $56 billion a year, most of it spent on acute care hospitals. But what do we really know about the quality of care we get for all that money? the fifth estate set out on a nine-month quest to uncover data about Canadian hospitals’ performance and make it public. The result is a Canadian first: Rate My Hospital gives you unprecedented access to information about hospitals across the country, and the opportunity to go online to rate and compare your own local hospital.
