Hospitals with those characteristics provided better care to patients with congestive heart failure, heart attack and pneumonia based on 10 performance measures, according to a study by Harvard Medical School researchers appearing in the Dec. 11 Archives of Internal Medicine.

Overall, 76 percent of patients hospitalized with the three conditions received recommended care.
