ProMedica Toledo Hospital Earns Highest-Level Quality Rating from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

ProMedica Toledo 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. This recognition was earned in a collaborative effort with ProMedica Flower Hospital and ProMedica Wildwood Orthopaedic and Spine Hospital.

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.

“ProMedica Toledo Hospital is honored to have received five stars from the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services for the quality of care our clinical and support teams provide to patients each and every day,” said Dawn Buskey, president of ProMedica acute care. “Despite the challenges brought about by the pandemic, our health care team has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our mission to improve health and well-being in our community.”

Also, nearby ProMedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Hospital in Adrian, Michigan earned a five-star rating from CMS. Note that its recognition is listed under the former Emma L. Bixby Medical Center name.
