How to read this: "Better than national" means the hospital's infection rate is statistically significantly lower than the national average — a sign of strong infection-control protocols (hand hygiene, sterilization, catheter management). "Worse than national" may warrant asking the hospital about their improvement initiatives.
Infection data reported to the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).
Complications & Deaths

What to consider: A "worse than national" rating on mortality or complications is a serious signal — particularly for elective procedures where you have time to choose a facility. For emergency care, proximity and speed often outweigh these metrics. Ask the hospital about their outcomes for your specific procedure.
Readmissions & Unplanned Hospital Visits
A readmission means a patient returned to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. High readmission rates can signal gaps in discharge planning, patient education, or follow-up care coordination. CMS penalizes hospitals with excess readmissions through the HRRP.
| Measure | Score | Patients | vs. National |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hospital return days for heart attack patients | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Hospital return days for heart failure patients | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Hospital return days for pneumonia patients | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Hybrid Hospital-Wide All-Cause Readmission Measure (HWR) | N/A | 0 | Number of Cases Too Small |
| Rate of unplanned hospital visits after colonoscopy (per 1,000 colonoscopies) | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Rate of inpatient admissions for patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Rate of emergency department (ED) visits for patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Ratio of unplanned hospital visits after hospital outpatient surgery | 1 | 41 | No Different than expected |
| Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) 30-Day Readmission Rate | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Rate of readmission for CABG | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Rate of readmission for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Heart failure (HF) 30-Day Readmission Rate | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Rate of readmission after hip/knee replacement | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
| Pneumonia (PN) 30-Day Readmission Rate | N/A | 0 | Not Available |
What to ask: If this hospital has higher-than-average readmission rates, ask about their discharge process — do they provide follow-up appointments, medication reconciliation, and clear care instructions before you leave?
