Without taking this uncertainty into account, we cannot conclude that a hospital with a measure rate that is higher or lower than the group rate is truly performing at a worse or better rate than the group. Statisticians use confidence intervals to account for this uncertainty.

  • 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment
    2019 Community Health Needs Assessment 0 Mission Statement Tufts Medical Center (Tufts MC) is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve. As part of that mission, Tufts MC strives to reduce both health disparities and health inequities in those communities. We seek to identify current and emerging health needs, collaborate with community partners, provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health services and resources, and address community health needs through education, prevention, and treatment. Background The Medical Center is committed not only to its role in providing the highest quality care to its patients and their families, but also to its role as an anchor institution in Boston. In addition to the life-saving care that takes place within its walls, Tufts Medical Center supports impactful work in its partner communities. That work is guided by the findings of our triennial Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). In order to ensure that Tufts MC remains at the forefront of the effort to improve the health of community members, we must understand what issues and systems most affect the health of these communities. To that end, the CHNA is an opportunity to engage community members and to seek their input to inform our efforts over the ensuing three years. With an emphasis on the Boston neighborhoods of Chinatown, Dorchester, South Boston, and the South End, as well as the City of Quincy and the Greater Boston Asian community, Tufts MC combines the invaluable insights and contributions offered by community members with an analysis of available public health data in order to identify health priorities in each of these communities.
