About the Medicare star rating

CMS (the federal Medicare agency) gives many hospitals an overall rating from 1 to 5 stars, based on measures of mortality, safety, readmissions, patient experience and timely care. It is one piece of information: ask your doctor what matters for your care. See the full Medicare profile →

Medicare quality data

What Avera Granite Falls reported to Medicare (CMS), the federal agency that publishes these results for hospitals nationwide. These are averages for many patients, not a prediction for any one person: ask your doctor what matters for your care. In a medical emergency, call 911.

Return visits to the hospital (readmissions)

What this means: The share of patients who had to be admitted to a hospital again within 30 days after going home, adjusted for how sick they were. A lower percentage is better.

Returned to any hospital within 30 days (all patients)15.7%
Readmitted within 30 days: pneumonia17.1%
Not reported to MedicareReadmitted within 30 days: heart attack; Readmitted within 30 days: coronary bypass surgery; Readmitted within 30 days: hip or knee replacement

Emergency room times and sepsis care

What this means: ER time is the middle (median) time from arriving at the emergency room to leaving it; busier ERs usually have longer times, so the ER volume is shown too. Leaving before being seen: a lower percentage is better. Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection; a higher percentage means more patients got every recommended early step.

Average (median) time patients spent in the emergency room before leaving (OP-18b)102 minutesNational average: 162 minutes
Not reported to MedicarePatients who left the emergency room before being seen (OP-22); Sepsis patients who got all the recommended early care (SEP-1)

Source: Timely and Effective Care - Hospital — CMS, released October 19, 2026; data from January 2025 to December 2025.

Not reported to Medicare: the patient survey, infections caught in the hospital, complications and deaths. For these topics Medicare shows no result for this hospital (not reported, or too few cases).
