A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.

The adjusted death rate model needs to be validated and generalized before it can be used routinely to screen hospitals, but large differences in observed versus predicted death rates lead us to believe that important differences in hospital performance may exist.
