ProMedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Hospital is pleased to announce that it has earned a five-star rating from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of its updated Overall Hospital Quality Star rating. Note that its recognition is listed under the former Emma L. Bixby Medical Center name.
CMS published its recent Overall Hospital Quality Star rating results on the Care Compare website to help consumers better understand hospital performance and make more informed decisions about care providers. CMS assigned a star rating from one through five to more than 4,500 hospitals across the country. Of those hospitals, only 455 received five stars, the highest-level quality rating.
According to CMS, the Overall Hospital Quality Star rating summarizes various measures across five areas of quality into a single star rating for each hospital. As part of the new rating methodology in 2021, the five areas measured are Mortality, Safety, Readmission, Patient Experience and Timely & Effective Care.
“I am so proud of our team, as this recognition reflects our journey to being a leader in rural health,” said Julie Yaroch, DO, president of ProMedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Hospital. “The team never stops learning or pushing themselves to do better each day in the delivery of safe and high-quality care to our community.”
Also, nearby ProMedica Toledo Hospital in Toledo, Ohio earned a five-star rating from CMS.
