Description
The overall rating is a 1 to 5 star score that summarizes 57
different quality measures, with 5 being the highest and 3 being the most common. These measures span seven categories:
mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, effectiveness of
care, timeliness of care, and efficient use of medical imaging. These 57 quality measures only reflect common conditions that hospitals treat, such as heart attacks and pneumonia, so as to be comparable. A hospital’s performance on more rare or complicated procedures is not reflected in the Hospital Compare measures.
Only hospitals that have at least three measures within at least three measure groups or categories, including one outcome group (mortality, safety, or readmission), are eligible for an overall rating. Not all hospitals report all measures. Therefore, some hospitals may not be eligible for an overall rating, and are not displayed in this map.
