Utah hospitals are committed to sharing information about the quality and safety of the health care services that they deliver in their communities. CheckPoint provides reliable data on 14 interventions that medical experts agree should be taken to treat heart attacks, heart failure and pneumonia. These measures represent the beginning of more measures that will be added to this site in the future. For an overview of CheckPoint, go to CheckPoint Overview.                       


CheckPoint does:
  1. Help Utah citizens learn more about health care.
  2. Make evidence-based health information publicly available and understandable.
  3. Assist hospitals in continuously improving their performance, and, thereby, improving the overall quality of care provided to Utah citizens.
  4. Provide information that employers and insurers can use as they design benefit packages.

CheckPoint does not:

  1. Provide a full-picture of the overall health care picture in Utah. CheckPoint is one source; many others are also available and should be consulted before drawing conclusions about the care at any one hospital.
  2. Take the place of conversations between the patient and provider. The importance of communicating with the physician, nurses and other members of the health care team cannot be understated.
  3. Remain static. The data is refreshed at least every six months, and as hospitals continuously improve the quality and safety of their care, it is expected that the data will change.
