Advocate Christ Hospital & Medical Center vs Saint Joseph Hospital-Elgin
7 measures are reported by both. Advocate Christ Hospital & Medical Center is ahead on 4 of them.
“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.
