How this works

Every question is counted from the same official files that build the pages of this guide: Medicare's hospital data (CMS), the FDA's drug records, the federal NPI Registry and each hospital's own website where our research has read it. The wrong answers are other real hospitals, medicines or places from the same data, or made-up expansions for the abbreviation questions. The questions are chosen in your browser, so nothing about you is sent anywhere; the address of a finished quiz (?s=) opens the same ten questions until the next data update. This site gives information, not medical advice.
