Grand View Health is the only Bucks County hospital to receive a five-star rating for overall hospital quality from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in the most recent update to the Hospital Compare website completed last month.
Five stars is the highest CMS rating available. Only 13.9% of the 3,093 hospitals rated by CMS nationwide earned a five-star rating in the summer 2022 rankings.
“Despite the challenges that COVID-19 brought to us and all hospitals, our team went above and beyond to keep patients safe and create exceptional outcomes,” said Jane Ferry, MD. “This five-star rating is a tribute to the work everyone throughout our organization does every day to benefit our patients.”
The CMS Hospital Compare rating system, established in 2015, underwent a revision of its methodology for the most recent data release. CMS assigns stars based on 48 measures in five categories: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care. This is different than the prior methodology, which assessed 65 measures across seven groups.
“We are so proud to be among the nation’s elite hospitals with five stars for overall quality,” said Douglas Hughes, RN, BSN, MBA, President and CEO, Grand View Health. “I applaud the efforts of every single member of our organization for providing safe, efficient and effective quality care on a consistent basis.”
