How This Hospital Compares
CMS star rating compared across three benchmarks
How CMS Calculates the Star Rating
Overall star is a weighted average of 5 quality groups
Source: CMS Hospital Quality Initiative. Weights: Mortality 22% · Safety 22% · Readmission 22% · Patient Experience 22% · Timely Care 12%.
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
Central line-associated bloodstream infection rate. A number below 1.0 means fewer infections than the national average — better than expected.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate. SIR below 1.0 = better than national benchmark. Important if you'll be in the ICU.
MRSA bloodstream infection rate. MRSA is a drug-resistant bacteria — an SIR below 1.0 means this hospital has fewer cases than expected nationally.
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
Timely & Effective Care
How consistently this hospital follows proven care processes, compared with the US average
Median time patients spent in the emergency department from arrival until they left, excluding patients transferred to another facility or psychiatric patients. Across US hospitals the typical (median) time is about 2.5 hours.
Percentage of ER patients who left before being evaluated by a provider. Lower is better — a high rate suggests the ER is overcrowded or understaffed.
Percentage of sepsis and septic shock patients who received appropriate bundled care within required timeframes. Higher is better — sepsis is a life-threatening emergency where every hour counts.
Percentage of healthcare workers who received the influenza vaccine. Vaccinated staff protect vulnerable patients from flu transmission during hospitalization.
Medicare Payment Estimates
What Medicare pays this hospital for common procedures vs the national average
Medicare payment amounts are risk-adjusted averages. Actual patient costs depend on insurance plan, deductibles, and other factors.
