GetBetterMaine uses data voluntarily submitted by all Maine hospitals and approximately 60 percent of private practitioners, according to the news report. Consumers are able to see how often providers offer the care recommended by experts for certain conditions. The website only lists conditions “for which there is a national consensus on how care should be delivered” and will later include data for cost comparison.
