Low rated hospitals could face cuts to their Medicare reimbursement rates.
How does your hospital stack up against the competition?
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospital Compare sifted through data for nearly 5,000 hospitals, including 22 on Long Island, and results from surveys from patients to rank the centers, from worst to first, in terms of in-patient care.
The time period covers patient surveys between Jan.1 and Dec. 31 of 2014, according to Healthcare Finance News. Patients receive the surveys at the end of their hospital care. The rankings are updated quarterly.
