The Science Daily summary raises the possibility of Facebook "likes" can be a proxy for quality and satisfaction. There are some interesting observations about teaching hospitals in the summary.

Reducing Hospital Readmissions Becomes Holy Grail
Medicare Eyes Hospital Readmissions by Joanne Kenen. Politico. January 23, 2013.
By linking medical and social services, by coordinating doctors and specialists as well as hospitals and nursing homes, a major multicity Medicare quality initiative has reduced readmissions by nearly 6 percent as compared with benchmark communities. Transition management is key to the success of this approach. This research project is presented in the Journal of The American Medical Association.

NYC Hospitals Chart Move Quality-Based Compensation for Physicians
New York City Ties Doctors' Income To Quality Of Care by Anemona Hartocollis. The New York Times. January 11, 2013.
In negotiations with physicians, the administrators of New York City's Health and Hospitals Corporation which runs the nation' largest public health system hope to incorporate quality measures in doctors' paychecks. Such a action would be in keeping with the broad national trend away from rewards for volume of medical services and more toward quality of service. The article contains several interesting observations about who such a system could be "gamed." For example studies of quality- based systems have shown that while measured quality service improved, unmeasured quality service declined.
