The Cardiac Surgery “Mortality” measures on this web site are designed to provide patients and their families with important information about coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery outcomes in New Jersey hospitals. This information is intended to help you make decisions about where to receive the best treatment if you are undergoing heart bypass surgery and to encourage you to ask your doctors questions. The measures also provide New Jersey hospitals and surgeons with data they can use in assessing how well they are providing quality of care to patients who undergo bypass surgery.
