Health Care Guide

WSIL -- Want to know how much a medical procedure will cost before you go to the doctor?

On Thursday, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. Damon Arnold announced the Hospital Report Card and the Consumer Guide to Health Care website.

The Hospital Report Card Act requires all Illinois hospitals to report staffing, infection prevention measures and hospital acquired infections data.

The Consumer Guide to Health Care contains information from hospitals and surgical treatment centers about conditions and procedures.

"The Hospital Report Card and Consumer Guide to Health Care site will allow consumers to find average costs for specific medical procedures, nurse staffing levels at hospitals and general quality of care information," said Dr. Arnold.
