CMS measure and my thoughts:
Mortality - age of people in area
Safety of Care - patient safety like getting hurt trying to get out of bed unassisted
Readmission - patients tend to not get over illnesses as easy as young and must return
Patient Experience - patient survey
Timely & Effective Care - check in, time seen, issue/illness resolved
I think the hospital here has a very good rating when you look at overall care from non-medicare patients.
