Health-Mart

Commercial site providing comparative hospital data by diagnosis for virtually every hospital in the U.S.. Data on average charge, average payment, average length of stay and mortality is available for free. The site was partly the product of a Health Care Financing Administration grant to determine the feasibility of placing this type of information on the Internet.
