title: Use ORYX to achieve your quality improvement goals.
abstract: No one ever said ORYX was a popular program, but there are some positive effects emerging from all those measures. ORYX allows outcomes to be compared across community lines, letting hospitals' strengths and weaknesses act as examples for other hospitals using the same comparison data. Once a problem is identified (e.g., surgery hematoma and hemorrhage in one hospital) and brought to the attention of physicians and administrators, the main players can come together to work out solutions.
