A list of what we ask hospitals in order to prepare a HospiCheck report.

For our system to deliver you the maximum value for your report, it needs a significant amount of information from you. The greater the detail, the greater the quality of the report that you receive.

HospiCheck reports are very extensive. So before you start the process of ordering a HospiCheck report, you should know what information you will need.
