How these measures are built
Overall rating
CMS collapses up to 46 measures into five groups, then into a single star. Two hospitals can share a rating with very different underlying profiles, so read the group counts below it before drawing a conclusion.
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.
Measures worse than national
Count of measures where this facility performed statistically worse than the national rate.
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.
