SKU: HCMwi174. Category: .

Description

Abstract: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released the first of its Quality Star Ratings in July 2016, and many hospitals received the lowest rating. This brief article suggests that low-rated hospitals may be able to improve their standing by familiarizing themselves with the Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating system. The system makes it easier for consumers to compare hospitals and interpret complex quality information by summarizing data from 64 existing quality measures into a single rating.
