Grand View Health was 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 on April 28.
Five stars is the highest CMS rating available. Only 13.6% of the 3,355 hospitals rated by CMS nationwide earned a five-star rating in the April 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 Dr. Jane Ferry, vice president and chief medical officer at Grand View Health. “This five-star ranking is a tribute to the work every single member of our organization does every day to benefit our patients.”
Established in 2015, the CMS Hospital Compare rating system underwent a methodology revision before the most recent data release. CMS assigns stars based on 48 measures in five categories, including mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care.
