Star rating not available
Acute Care — General medical and surgical hospital participating in Medicare IPPS. Subject to CMS quality reporting and payment adjustment programs (VBP, HRRP, HAC).
CMS Star Rating — Quality Domain Breakdown
CMS computes the overall star rating from five quality domains. Each domain compares this hospital's measures against national benchmarks.
Mortality 1 of 7 measures reported
30-day death rates for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, COPD, stroke, CABG, and kidney disease.
Safety of Care 1 of 8 measures reported
Healthcare-associated infections and patient safety indicators (PSI-90 composite).
Readmission 4 of 11 measures reported
30-day unplanned readmission rates for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, COPD, hip/knee replacement, and CABG.
Patient Experience 8 of 8 measures reported
HCAHPS survey scores — patient-reported experience with communication, responsiveness, cleanliness, and discharge planning.
Timely & Effective Care 9 of 12 measures reported
Process-of-care measures including flu immunization, blood clot prevention, and appropriate use of imaging.
Readmissions — Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program
The Excess Readmission Ratio (ERR) compares this hospital's 30-day readmission rate to expected, adjusting for patient mix. An ERR of 1.0 means readmissions are as expected; > 1.0 triggers a Medicare payment penalty (up to 3%).
This hospital has excess readmissions in at least one condition and is subject to HRRP payment reduction.
Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)
Heart Failure
Pneumonia 84 discharges
COPD
Hip/Knee Replacement
CABG Surgery
CMS Payment Programs
Three Medicare programs adjust hospital payments based on quality performance. Hospitals can be penalized under multiple programs simultaneously.
