Medicare Spending Index (MSPB)

Near National Avg

Quality data from CMS Hospital Compare. "Better than national" means statistically significantly better than the national average. Spending uses the CMS MSPB measure (Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary) index, where 1.000 is national average and values above/below 1.000 indicate higher/lower spending.

Patient Experience (HCAHPS Survey)

The HCAHPS survey is a standardized, national survey of hospital patients. It measures how patients perceive their care — including communication with doctors and nurses, responsiveness of staff, cleanliness, and discharge information. Higher percentages indicate better performance.

Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI)

Healthcare-associated infections are one of the most important safety metrics when evaluating a hospital. These infections are acquired during a hospital stay, not the reason for admission. CMS tracks rates for specific infection types and compares each hospital to the national benchmark.

Infection Type	Score (SIR)	vs. National
Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection (ICU + select Wards): Lower Confidence Limit	0.793	No Different than National Benchmark

Clostridium Difficile (C.Diff)	0.286	Better than the National Benchmark

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

CMS tracks post-surgical complications and mortality rates for common procedures and conditions (heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, hip/knee replacement, and more). These measures reflect how patients actually fare at this hospital compared to the national average.

Measure	Score	Patients	vs. National
Rate of complications for hip/knee replacement patients	4.4	61	No Different Than the National Rate
Hybrid Hospital-Wide All-Cause Risk Standardized Mortality Rate	3.2	3,314	Better Than the National Rate
Death rate for heart attack patients	9.4	428	Better Than the National Rate
Death rate for CABG surgery patients	2	495	No Different Than the National Rate
Death rate for COPD patients	6.8	125	No Different Than the National Rate
Death rate for heart failure patients	7.5	839	Better Than the National Rate
Death rate for pneumonia patients	12.8	338	Better Than the National Rate
Death rate for stroke patients	12.1	354	No Different Than the National Rate
Pressure ulcer rate	0.83	13,288	No Different Than the National Rate
Death rate among surgical inpatients with serious treatable complications	177.10	435	No Different Than the National Rate
Iatrogenic pneumothorax rate	0.13	14,298	No Different Than the National Rate
In-hospital fall-associated fracture rate	0.28	15,943	No Different Than the National Rate
Postoperative hemorrhage or hematoma rate	2.06	5,366	No Different Than the National Rate
Postoperative acute kidney injury requiring dialysis rate	0.68	2,469	Better Than the National Rate
Postoperative respiratory failure rate	1.94	2,589	Better Than the National Rate
Perioperative pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis rate	4.18	5,921	No Different Than the National Rate
Postoperative sepsis rate	1.71	2,593	Better Than the National Rate
Postoperative wound dehiscence rate	1.54	916	No Different Than the National Rate
Abdominopelvic accidental puncture or laceration rate	1.29	2,968	No Different Than the National Rate
CMS Medicare PSI 90: Patient safety and adverse events composite	0.71	N/A	Better Than the National Value

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	14.4	711	More Days Than Average per 100 Discharges
Hospital return days for heart failure patients	5.9	1,165	Average Days per 100 Discharges
Hospital return days for pneumonia patients	41.6	366	More Days Than Average per 100 Discharges
Hybrid Hospital-Wide All-Cause Readmission Measure (HWR)	14.4	5,757	No Different Than the National Rate
Rate of unplanned hospital visits after colonoscopy (per 1,000 colonoscopies)	14.1	1,079	No Different Than the National Rate
Rate of inpatient admissions for patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy	10.9	356	No Different Than the National Rate
Rate of emergency department (ED) visits for patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy	5.4	356	No Different Than the National Rate
Ratio of unplanned hospital visits after hospital outpatient surgery	1.2	956	No Different than expected
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) 30-Day Readmission Rate	13.8	711	No Different Than the National Rate
Rate of readmission for CABG	9.4	484	No Different Than the National Rate
Rate of readmission for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients	18.8	156	No Different Than the National Rate
Heart failure (HF) 30-Day Readmission Rate	18.1	1,165	No Different Than the National Rate
Rate of readmission after hip/knee replacement	5.1	55	No Different Than the National Rate
Pneumonia (PN) 30-Day Readmission Rate	16.2	366	No Different Than the National Rate

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?

What to Do with This Information

Hospital quality data is most useful when paired with your specific situation. Here's how to act on it:

Check network status: Before choosing this hospital, verify it's in-network for your Medicare Advantage plan. Out-of-network care can cost significantly more.
Ask about specific outcomes: If you're considering an elective procedure, ask the hospital for their outcomes data on that specific surgery — not just overall ratings.
Compare nearby options: Use the nearby hospitals section above to compare quality scores across facilities in the area.
Review your Medicare plan: Your plan's network determines which hospitals you can access affordably. Use our enrollment checklist to stay organized if you're switching plans. Check enrollment deadlines →
Talk to your doctor: Ask your primary care physician which hospitals they're affiliated with and whether they're in-network for your plan. Print our doctor questions checklist →
