Problem
In the article, "The Contribution of Benchmarking to Quality Improvement in Healthcare. A Systematic Literature Review" (Willmington, Belardi, Murante, et al., 2022) there is some discussion about whether or not public reporting and comparisons of providers is appropriate. What is your feeling about this issue? Does the public have an inherent right to this information? Do you think it could lead to discouragement among care providers? What unintended consequences might result from this?
