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 Children's Home of Pittsburgh 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.

What patients said (patient survey)

What this means: Patients who stayed overnight answered a national survey (HCAHPS) about their stay. More stars mean patients reported a better experience than at other hospitals. The percentages show how often patients gave the best answer, next to the national average.

Infections caught in the hospital

What this means: CMS compares the number of infections patients caught in this hospital with the number expected for a hospital like it. The number shown is that ratio: below 1 means fewer infections than expected, above 1 means more. “Better” or “worse” is shown only when the difference is clear in the data.

Central line bloodstream infections (CLABSI)Not reported to Medicare
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)Not reported to Medicare
Surgical site infections after colon surgeryNot reported to Medicare
Surgical site infections after abdominal hysterectomyNot reported to Medicare
MRSA bloodstream infectionsNot reported to Medicare
Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) intestinal infectionsNot reported to Medicare

Complications and deaths

What this means: Death rates are the share of patients who died within 30 days of going into the hospital for that condition, adjusted for how sick they were. PSI-90 combines several serious complications (a lower number is better). “No different from the national rate” is the most common result and means the hospital is in line with hospitals nationwide.

Deaths within 30 days: heart attack patientsNot reported to Medicare
Deaths within 30 days: heart failure patientsNot reported to Medicare

Complications after hip or knee replacementNot reported to Medicare

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)Not reported to Medicare
Readmitted within 30 days: heart attackNot reported to Medicare

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)Not reported to Medicare
Patients who left the emergency room before being seen (OP-22)Not reported to Medicare
Sepsis patients who got all the recommended early care (SEP-1)Not reported to Medicare

Prices

Every US hospital must publish its standard charges in a file that follows a federal (CMS) format. Below are 4 common services exactly as Children's Home of Pittsburgh lists them in its file. This is not a quote: what you pay depends on your insurance and plan, the doctors involved and the care you actually receive. Prices change: ask the hospital for an estimate before you schedule care (if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you have the right to a written “good faith estimate”). In a medical emergency, call 911.

What the prices mean
Hospital charge
The hospital’s list price (“gross charge”) before any discount or insurance. Few people pay this amount.
Cash price
The price the hospital offers if you pay yourself, without insurance (“discounted cash price”).
Insurance rates
The lowest and highest amounts the hospital has agreed with any insurance plan for the service (“de-identified minimum and maximum”), and some of the rates it lists by insurer and plan. Your share depends on your deductible, copay and coinsurance.
Hospital and doctor fees
A service can have a hospital (facility) fee and a separate doctor (professional) fee; the total for your care can include both, plus other services.
