Governor Kulongoski has made health care accessibility and affordability one of his top priorities, including increased transparency about health care costs and quality. As one of these priorities, the Governor has emphasized that health care costs should be transparent, easily accessible and understandable to consumers. When consumers of health care services have clear information about the costs, risk and benefits of care, they can make more informed decisions for themselves and their families. Oregonians have a right to know what they're paying for before - not after - they receive the bill.
The Governor directed the Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS) to gather data from insurers in Oregon on the payments made to Oregon hospitals, making Oregon one of the first states in the nation to provide this kind of data.
The data presented on this Web site represents the average payments for commercial inpatient claims for Oregon patients in Oregon acute-care hospitals, who were discharged during calendar year viewed. The Web site contains data on the average payments for common conditions or procedures. The Web site provides two display options:
- Consumer portal: Interactive table creator for easy comparison of a hospital to another hospital, the county of a hospital (if applicable) and/or the state average payments for a specific condition or surgery.
- Researcher portal: Entire publicly available data tables.
This data complements Oregon’s public reporting of hospital quality data, which compares hospital mortality rates for selected conditions and or procedures, available at www.oregon.gov/OHPPR/HQ/

| Compare Cost and Quality |
|
The following figures are Oregon’s attempt at displaying hospital cost with quality data. By comparing information about hospitals cost and quality, consumers, providers, purchasers and the general public will be able to make more informed health care decisions. This is another step in the State’s goal to increasing the transparency of Oregon’s healthcare system.
The cost data are average payments to Oregon hospitals. The data were provided to the state by commercial health insurance carriers with earned premiums in excess of $50 million in Oregon. The nine health care conditions or procedures reported here are those that match the quality data produced by OHPR. Results for individual hospitals are shown only if both cost and quality data are available.
The quality data are risk-adjusted in-hospital death rates calculated from the inpatient hospital discharge data for that given year. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/) created the Inpatient Quality Indicators used on this site that reflect quality of care inside hospitals including inpatient mortality for medical conditions and surgical procedures.
