Centers for Medicare and Medicaid: “Today, we are updating the star ratings on the Hospital Compare website to help millions of patients and their families learn about the quality of hospitals, compare facilities in their area side-by-side, and ask important questions about care quality when visiting a hospital or other health care provider. Today’s update comes after substantive discussions with hospitals and other stakeholders to review the Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating’s methodology. To learn more about our outreach and education with stakeholders and hospitals, please visit: http://blog.cms.gov/2016/07/27/helping-consumers-make-care-choices-through-hospital-compare.”
