Grand View Health is 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 completed last month.
Five stars is the highest CMS rating available. Only 13.9% of the 3,093 hospitals rated by CMS nationwide earned a five-star rating in the summer 2022 rankings.
The CMS Hospital Compare rating system, established in 2015, underwent a revision of its methodology for the most recent data release. CMS assigns stars based on 48 measures in five categories: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care. This is different than the prior methodology, which assessed 65 measures across seven groups.
