The Physician Compare website was created by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in December 2010 as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 to help patients assess and find doctors and hospitals. This dataset contains the information supplied to patients via that website, including patient satisfaction surveys and performance scores across over 100 metrics.
