My experience is that you can usually get some additional information, but it's rare that you can get the full study. I couldn't find anything as simple as a download link.

I looked at the link that Tom provided and did not see any mention of Lean Six Sigma in the press release although Healthgrades did use statistics to arrive at their ranking. I know that a lot of healthcare facilities are adopting Lean. It would be good to use as an example if the study says that these hospitals differentiated themselves because of Lean Six Sigma.
