Abstract	It is becoming increasingly common to release information about the performance of hospitals, health professionals or providers, and healthcare organisations into the public domain. However, we do not know how this information is used and to what extent such reporting leads to quality improvement by changing the behaviour of healthcare consumers, providers and purchasers, or to what extent the performance of professionals and providers can be affected.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 38. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 May 2018.

All research outputs

#923,331

of 23,128,387 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#2,003

of 12,376 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#4,050

of 143,872 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#20

of 153 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 23,128,387 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,376 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 32.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 143,872 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 153 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
