TALLAHASSEE – The Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) today announced that physician volume data on total hip and total knee replacements is now available on www.FloridaHealthFinder.gov.  Consumers can access everything they need to know about hip and knee replacements in Florida’s hospitals, including health outcomes, pricing, physician volume, and educational information.
“It is important to provide consumers access to information that can help them make well-informed health care decisions for themselves and their loved ones,” said Elizabeth Dudek, Interim Secretary of the Agency for Health Care Administration.

The information on www.FloridaHealthFinder.gov helps consumers and researchers find and compare results for nursing homes, prescription drugs, hospice providers, health plan performance, and hospital inpatient data on length of stay, charges, mortality, complication and infection rates and more.  The Agency conducts ongoing outreach to measure the website’s consumer usability and works with the State Consumer Health Information and Policy Advisory Council to enhance and promote tools to assist consumers in managing their own health care.
