IPRO’s WhyNotTheBest website is featured in a cover story in the May 2018 edition of the widely-circulated Reader’s digest magazine.
The IPRO website is one of three featured under a heading “Getting the Best Intel,” which is included in a “how to” article for patients preparing for hospital stays. The three online resources the magazine recommends that patients and families start with are the federal government’s medicare.gov, IPRO’s whynotthebest.org and the Leapfrog Group’s hospitalsafetygrade.org.
IPRO’s site is called out for not only ranking hospitals based on safety and quality but also “the number of times [hospitals] follow recommended practices for treating common conditions.” Wikipedia estimates Reader’s digest current circulation at 10.5 million readers, making it “the largest paid circulation magazine in the world.”
