Demos Greenhouse: Risking it

Interesting piece from Demos about choosing hospitals: Demos Greenhouse: Risking it:

"researchers ... found that the best hospitals actually tended to report more mistakes, which of course allowed them to learn from those mistakes and steadily improve"

Is this true? Certainly more honesty sounds better than covering up mistakes, but do people always make 'logical' decisions about their care?
