Rural Emergency Hospitals are a new hospital type focused on emergency and outpatient services in rural communities, providing 24/7 emergency care without inpatient beds.

Why doesn't this hospital have a CMS star rating?Rural Emergency Hospitals provide emergency and outpatient care without inpatient beds, so inpatient measures such as mortality and readmission rates — which drive the CMS star rating — do not apply.

Patient Experience (HCAHPS Survey)

Based on standardized surveys sent to random patients after discharge

Mortality & Outcomes

30-day mortality rates — percentage of patients who died within 30 days of admission

Infection Control

Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) — below 1.0 is better than the national benchmark

CLABSI Rate
N/A

Central line-associated bloodstream infection rate. A number below 1.0 means fewer infections than the national average — better than expected.

CAUTI Rate
N/A

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate. SIR below 1.0 = better than national benchmark. Important if you'll be in the ICU.

MRSA Rate
N/A

MRSA bloodstream infection rate. MRSA is a drug-resistant bacteria — an SIR below 1.0 means this hospital has fewer cases than expected nationally.

C. diff Rate
N/A

Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection rate. This gut bacteria can cause severe diarrhea — SIR below 1.0 is better than the national benchmark.

30-Day Readmission Rates

Lower readmission rates indicate better discharge planning and post-hospital care

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.
