North CarolinaDashboard on Health Care Quality Compared to All StatesOverall Health Care QualityEach graphic shows a State's balance of below average, average, and above average measures compared to all States reporting such data in the United States. The graphics have five categories: very weak, weak, average, strong, and very strong. This State's performance for the most recent data year is described by a solid arrow or solid triangle; a dashed arrow or hollow triangle describes the baseline year. A missing arrow or triangle means there were insufficient data to create the summary measure. An arrow or triangle pointing to "Very weak" means all or nearly all included measures for a State are below average within a given data year. An arrow or triangle pointing to "Very strong" indicates that all or nearly all available measures for a State are above average within a given data year.
