Pa. Hospitals Rated First To Worst: Where Does Your Hospital Rate?

Editor’s note: The initial information provided by Healthcare Finance News to Patch incorrectly identified the ratings for several hospitals.The following information has been updated.

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 and results from surveys from patients to rank the centers, from worst to first, in terms of in-patient care.

In its latest report, 10 Pennsylvania hospitals (out of 309 nationally) earned five stars. More than 20 received two stars.

Poor scores can result lower reimbursement rates from Medicare under the government’s value-based purchasing program, according to the survey.

CMS, a consumer-oriented website that provides information on how well hospitals provide recommended care to their patients, updated its rankings on Oct. 8, which are based on patient responses to Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys between Jan.1 and Dec. 31 of 2014.

Patients receive these at the end of their care and are asked to answer questions on the quality of the experience they received from each hospital.
