Just a quick remark about the submitted title: the reports are done by the government but the database was compiled by the Association of Health Care Journalists, who had been filing records requests and eventually worked out a system with CMS to get the electronic files, though after some examination, some types of records were just not released by CMS

Thanks for the clarification. I'd be lying if I said I didn't deliberately use government in the title--rather than AHCJ or CMS--to garner more attention. For those unaware, CMS administers Medicare and for all intents and purposes sets the rules in US healthcare. Them enabling the publishing of these reports online is a strong show of support for the push for quality outcomes ("value over volume").
