Medina Regional Hospital Rated Four Stars
On July 27, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updated the star ratings on the Hospital Compare website. The new Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating summarizes data from existing quality measures publicly reported on Hospital Compare into a single star rating for each hospital, making it easier for consumers to compare hospitals and understand quality information. It will include 64 of the more than 100 measures displayed on Hospital Compare.
Medina Regional Hospital received four out of five stars. “We appreciate the recognition of our efforts to improve quality and the patient experience at our facility,” said CEO Janice Simons. She points out that less than 3% of all hospitals in the country received better than a four-star rating. The 276 rated Texas hospitals scored an average of 3.3 stars for overall quality of care – slightly above the national average. Thirteen hospitals received five stars, 90 rated four stars, 132 scored three stars, and 41 received two stars.
