The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) utilizes a star rating system to appraise the quality of acute care hospitals that treat Medicaid and Medicare enrollees. This rating methodology analyzes collected data on assorted quality measures, computes a score for each measure, and then consolidates the scores into a single, all-embracing quality rating on a 1 to 5-star scale, with 5-stars being the scale's top score. The particular metrics examined for acute care hospitals include the timeliness of care, patient safety, readmission rates, patient experience, and mortality. The data used in the CMS scoring system comes from various reports submitted by participating hospitals. Only hospitals that submit data used in the CMS quality rating process are eligible for a quality rating. As of September 5, 2025, only 12 acute care hospitals in the state of Illinois earned a five-star quality rating. Alphabetically listed, here are the 12 hospitals rated by the CMS as five-star quality acute care hospitals in Illinois:
