I believe scores should be weighted before comparisons are made among hospitals to ensure fair comparisons.

But what if the scores are not weighted before comparisons? Wouldn't that affect the accuracy of the comparison?

I agree with Renea. It would make sense to compare hospitals within the same system.

I think if the service case mix is similar, we should compare hospitals within a system.

I'm going with C. You can totally compare hospitals outside of a system as long as the service case mix is similar. No need for weighting in that case.

Option B seems like the way to go. Weighting the scores before comparing hospitals makes sense to account for different service mixes.
