If you have a serious chronic disease, you might think your best bet is a hospital that’s going to treat you as aggressively as possible.

But researchers from The Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care say you’d be wrong. According to USA Today, the researchers warn that if you have a chronic disease, such as diabetes, heart failure or dementia, the longer you’re in the hospital and the more treatments you receive, the greater your risk of acquiring an infection or falling victim to a medical error.

They also add that this doesn’t apply to medical emergencies such as a heart attack or stroke, when all hospitals, as they should, use everything at their command, USA Today said.

To solve this problem, the power could now be in your hands, giving you access to check how hospitals in your area compare on the conservative/aggressive care scale.

The new Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center has a new tool based on the Dartmouth Atlas findings, that pinpoints where individual U.S. hospitals (except VA hospitals and very small hospitals) fall on the scale. For example, if a hospital is in the 60th percentile, it’s more aggressive than 60% of the nearly 3,000 hospitals ranked by the Dartmouth Atlas.

Simply go to http://consumerreports.org/health/doctors-and-hospitals/hospital-home.htm and plug in your state and region to find local hospitals in your area. You can find local hospitals by plugging in your state and region. USA Today warns that they might not all show up on your first try and that the conservative/aggressive scale isn’t designed to measure overall hospital quality.
