Bella Vista Hospital

Measures reported

How many of the measures CMS tracks this facility actually reported. Low-volume hospitals report fewer, which is a reporting artefact rather than a quality signal — it is shown so a sparse profile is never mistaken for a poor one.

Measures better than national

Count of measures where this facility performed statistically better than the national rate. Compare against measures reported: 3 of 4 is not the same result as 3 of 40.

Mortality measures better

Of the mortality measures reported, how many were better than the national rate. Risk-adjusted for how sick patients were on arrival.

Safety measures better

Of the safety-of-care measures reported (infections and complications), how many were better than the national rate.

Readmission measures better

Of the unplanned-readmission measures reported, how many were better than the national rate. Readmission is a proxy for whether discharge was premature, and it penalises hospitals serving patients with less support at home.
