Quality and Outcomes Reports - Urology
US Referrals
Why we measure it - Research shows that doctors and hospitals that treat a large number of patients tend to provide better care and have better outcomes for treatments and procedures.
What this means - Many patients and families from outside Wisconsin are choosing our care. This reflects families from outside our region who are seeking our expertise, as the reputation of the Urology Clinic, the surgeons and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin has grown nationally.
About the data - The map shows the states and other countries that urology patients came from in 2012.
