Compare Providers
Two or three providers side by side, across the public record: licensing, ratings, inspections, penalties, staffing, ownership, and what care costs locally. Where no agency publishes a figure for a kind of provider, the cell says so rather than sitting empty next to a number and reading like a low score.
Pontiac General Hospital vs. Mclaren Oakland
Care types
What each provider is licensed or certified to deliver. Different care types answer to different regulators, which is why the rows below are not always comparable.

Hospitals
Licensed capacity
Beds or units on the license. A capacity, not an occupancy.
Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no licensed capacity for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.
Pontiac General Hospital
Not establishedThe roster we read for this provider does not carry a licensed capacity. Not every state publishes one.

Whatever the publishing regulator published, on the scale the regulator used. Nothing here is rescaled to five stars.

Inspection citations
How many citations are on record, and how recent the newest one is.
Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no inspection citations for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Fines and payment denials
Enforcement actions on record, with the total fine amount where the source publishes one.
Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes fines and payment denials for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.
Pontiac General Hospital
Not comparableCMS publishes its civil money penalty and payment denial file for certified nursing homes only. No hospital appears in it, including this one. Enforcement here runs through the state licensing agency instead.

Nurse staffing hours
Payroll-based nurse hours per resident per day, against the median for the same state.

Pontiac General Hospital
Not comparableStaffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from hospitals.

Ownership and chain
Who owns the provider, and who runs it when those are different companies.
Not a like-for-like comparison. Both providers have ownership and chain on record, but for at least one of them we cannot confirm we hold the complete file. Read the smaller number as "at least this many" rather than as a total, and the gap between the columns as unknown.

The published monthly median for this care type in this provider's city. A market figure, never a price quoted by this provider.

Reading the blanks
A blank cell on this page is never just missing. It is one of three claims, and they mean very different things.
- None on record.
- We hold the whole published file for this measure and this provider is not in it. A real zero, and a finding in its own right.
- Not comparable.
- No agency publishes this measure for this kind of provider, so no provider of its kind has one. Shown hatched, because it is not a score at all.
- Not established.
- We cannot yet say whether the silence means a clean record or a file we have not read. We would rather tell you that than guess.
