See which hospitals failed and were fined for hospital-acquired conditions (map, list)

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in December handed down fines to more than 700 hospitals for infections and other hospital-acquired conditions totaling $373 million. And it plans to expand that program.

In the proposed 2016 inpatient prospective payment system rule, CMS said not only will it keep the penalties in place, but it will expand the population covered by the central line-associated bloodstream infection measure and the catheter-associated urinary tract infection measure, two areas where many of these hospitals failed.

While the formal rule is several months away, we thought we'd return to the data on these 700+ hospitals, plotting them on a map so users could not only see which hospitals failed regarding key infection measures, but where they are located too.

Map markers are sized and colored by the number of measures failed. We've also included the full, sortable and searchable list of institutions under the map.
