The CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) employs a star rating system for gauging the overall quality of acute care hospitals that service Medicare and Medicaid participants. This rating methodology involves examining hospital-submitted data on assorted quality metrics, calculating a standardized score for each measure, and then aggregating the scores into an all-embracing overall quality rating on a 1 to 5-star scale, with 5-stars being the scale's highest score. Specific metrics examined for acute care hospitals include the timeliness of care, readmission rates, patient experience, patient safety, and mortality.
