Anderson Regional Medical Center vs Forrest General Hospital
7 measures are reported by both. Forrest General Hospital is ahead on 3 of them, with 3 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.
