Abstract
The United States and United Kingdom have both embraced public reporting of hospital quality-of-care data as an important driver of healthcare quality improvement. New Zealand, in contrast, has made limited progress in this area despite the availability of data that could be publicly-reported. We outline the types and sources of data reported in the United States and United Kingdom and suggest that, in the spirit of transparency and patient safety, New Zealand should aim to build similar mechanisms.
