Care Facts
5,419 U.S. hospitals and 478,010 CMS quality measures — overall ratings, complications, readmissions, infections and patient experience. Every figure carries the period CMS published it for.
How hospitals are rated
A null overall rating means CMS did not rate this hospital — most often because too few cases were reported for a reliable score. It does not mean zero stars: the rating scale is 1 to 5 and has no zero. "Not rated" is not a judgement about quality.
2,245 of 5,419 hospitals (41.4%) have no overall rating. The usual reason is that too few cases were reported for CMS to calculate one reliably — often small rural hospitals, specialty hospitals, and facilities that do not treat the full set of measured conditions.
A missing measure is likewise not a poor result. CMS withholds a measure when the case count is too low, so a hospital with more blanks is not automatically worse.
