Federal Hospital Ratings

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) works with hospitals in Connecticut to report on the quality of care delivered. The overall star rating is based on how well a hospital performs on a number of quality measures including treating patients for heart attacks, safety of care, readmission rates, and efficient use of medical imaging. The patient star rating is based on patients’ experiences while hospitalized, including how well doctors and nurses communicated with them.
