Psychiatric hospitals specialize in mental health treatment, including inpatient and outpatient care for conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Why doesn't this hospital have a CMS star rating?CMS does not calculate Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings for psychiatric hospitals. Inpatient psychiatric facilities report quality data through a separate CMS program, the Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Quality Reporting (IPFQR) Program.

Mortality & Outcomes

Psychiatric hospitals do not report 30-day mortality rates. CMS mortality measures are designed for acute medical conditions and do not apply to psychiatric care settings.

Infection Control

Infection rate data (HAI/SIR) is not reported for this hospital. Hospitals with low patient volumes in ICU or surgical procedures may not meet the minimum threshold required by CMS for reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an acute care hospital?▼
Acute care hospitals treat patients with serious illnesses or injuries that require immediate, short-term care. Most general hospitals fall into this category.
What does the CMS star rating mean?▼
CMS rates hospitals on a 1–5 star scale based on five quality groups: mortality, safety, readmissions, patient experience, and timely care. Higher stars mean better performance across these measures.
Is a higher star rating always better?▼
Generally yes, but consider your specific needs. A 3-star hospital might excel in cardiac care while scoring lower in other areas. Look at individual metrics relevant to your procedure.
How often is this data updated?▼
CMS updates hospital quality data quarterly (January, April, July, October). Overall star ratings are updated annually, usually in August.
What is HCAHPS?▼
HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) is a standardized patient satisfaction survey administered to random samples of hospital patients. Results reflect real patient experiences.
How do I read the infection rates?▼
Infection rates are shown as Standardized Infection Ratios (SIR). A SIR below 1.0 means fewer infections than nationally expected. A SIR of 0.5 means the hospital has half the expected infection rate — significantly better.
Does a lower star rating mean the hospital is unsafe?▼
Not necessarily. Lower-rated hospitals often serve sicker, more complex patient populations that make outcomes harder to achieve. Consider the full picture and consult your doctor.
