New Database Allows You To Search Every Hospital Violation in Connecticut

The violations were found at the time of inspection at all 29 Connecticut hospitals and was prepared by the Connecticut Health I-Team.

No one wants to go the hospital, but if you do or if a loved one needs to, you’re likely going to want to check out this new searchable in-depth database prepared by the Connecticut Health I-Team.

In the first of its kind, the C-HIT team has compiled a massive database of every hospital in Connecticut and includes reports of violations found during inspections.

But what makes this database truly unique is that you can read the entire inspection report and violation along with the hospital’s corrective action. The inspection reports and violations are from 2013-2015.
