How these measures are built
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.
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.
