Citizens Memorial Hospital earns 4-star CMS rating for second consecutive year
For the second consecutive year, Citizens Memorial Hospital has received a four-star rating from The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for patient safety and quality.
The star rating appears on the CMS Care Compare site.
“Earning this rating for the second year in a row reflects the consistent, high-quality care our patients receive at CMH,” said Michael Calhoun, CEO/executive director of CMH/CMH Foundation. “Quality and safety are daily priorities, and this recognition highlights our team’s ongoing commitment to excellence in every area of care.”
CMS calculates the rating using 46 quality measures in five groups: Mortality, timely and effective care, safety of care, readmission and patient experience. The Overall Star Rating gives consumers a simple rating generated by combining multiple aspects of quality into a single summary score.
