Adventist Healthcare Shady Grove Medical Center vs Umd Upper Chesapeake Medical Center
7 measures are reported by both. Umd Upper Chesapeake Medical Center is ahead on 2 of them, with 4 measures level or without a stated direction.
“Ahead” means better on a measure whose direction the publishing agency states. Where the agency states no direction, neither column wins — a bigger number is not automatically a better one, and deciding otherwise here would be this site inventing a finding.
