What each row means

Emergency room: whether Medicare (CMS) lists emergency services at the hospital; where our research has read the hospital’s own website, a 24-hour emergency room and trauma or stroke designations are quoted from it. Medicare overall rating: the CMS overall hospital star rating, 1 to 5, for hospitals in the rating program (rehabilitation, long-term care, psychiatric and many small hospitals are not rated). Quality measures: what the hospital reported to Medicare, compared with the national rate; “not reported” is common for small and specialty hospitals and never means 0. Beds: from the hospital’s website where read, otherwise from CMS. Price list: whether the hospital’s federal price-transparency file was found and read. Distance: a straight line between the hospitals’ map positions. Clinicians: doctors and other clinicians affiliated with the hospital in Medicare’s clinician data. Nursing homes and hospice: Medicare-certified providers within 10 miles. These are averages for many patients, not a prediction for any one person. In a medical emergency, call 911.
