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 Providence St. Joseph Hospital 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.

Summary star rating (all survey topics)	2 of 5 stars

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)	0.271Better than the national benchmark
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)	1.388No different from the national benchmark
Surgical site infections after colon surgery	1.268No different from the national benchmark
MRSA bloodstream infections	0.577No different from the national benchmark
Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) intestinal infections	0.894No different from the national benchmark
Not reported to Medicare	Surgical site infections after abdominal hysterectomy

Source: Healthcare Associated Infections - Hospital — CMS, released October 19, 2026; data from January 2025 to December 2025.

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 patients	11.7%
Deaths within 30 days: heart failure patients	9.4%
Deaths within 30 days: pneumonia patients	12.7%
Deaths within 30 days: COPD patients	7%
Deaths within 30 days: stroke patients	14.9%
Deaths within 30 days: coronary bypass surgery (CABG)	2.2%
Serious complications (patient safety indicator PSI-90)	0.9No different from the national rate
Complications after hip or knee replacement	4.8%

Source: Complications and Deaths - Hospital — CMS, released October 20, 2026; data from July 2022 to June 2025.

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)	16.2%
Readmitted within 30 days: heart attack	14.1%
Readmitted within 30 days: heart failure	19.8%
Readmitted within 30 days: pneumonia	17.2%
Readmitted within 30 days: COPD	20.3%
Readmitted within 30 days: coronary bypass surgery	11.3%
Readmitted within 30 days: hip or knee replacement	5.8%

Source: Unplanned Hospital Visits - Hospital — CMS, released October 20, 2026; data from July 2024 to June 2025.

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.

Emergency room volume (patients per year)	Very high (60,000 or more)
Average (median) time patients spent in the emergency room before leaving (OP-18b)	217 minutesNational average: 162 minutes
Patients who left the emergency room before being seen (OP-22)	2%National average: 2%
Sepsis patients who got all the recommended early care (SEP-1)	84%National average: 66%

Medicare payment programs

Medicare (CMS) uses these federal programs to adjust what it pays hospitals, based on quality, safety and cost results. This is a payment to the hospital for Medicare patients, not a price you pay, and not a prediction for any one person. Results for Providence St. Joseph Hospital, fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 to September 2026).

Show the Medicare payment program results

Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program

What this means: Medicare gives each hospital a Total HAC Score built from patient-safety complications and from infections caught in the hospital. The quarter of hospitals with the highest (worst) scores gets a reduction in its Medicare payments. A lower score is better.

CMS says: Hospitals with a Total HAC Score above the 75th percentile of the Total HAC Score distribution will be subject to a 1-percent payment reduction.

Medicare payment reduction, fiscal year 2026	NoCMS lists no payment reduction for this hospital.
Total HAC Score	0.3656Lower is better. Hospitals above the 75th percentile of all scores get the reduction.

Source: Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program — CMS, released January 26, 2026; patient-safety data from July 2022 to June 2024 and infection data from January 2023 to December 2024.

Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program

What this means: For six conditions, Medicare compares how often this hospital’s patients had to go back into a hospital within 30 days with how often that happens at an average hospital with similar patients. The ratio is that comparison: 1 means as many readmissions as expected, above 1 means more than expected (CMS calls these “excess readmissions”), below 1 means fewer.

CMS says: In October 2012, CMS began reducing Medicare payments for subsection(d) hospitals with excess readmissions under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP).

Heart attack	0.9990Fewer readmissions than expected
Heart failure	0.9582Fewer readmissions than expected
Pneumonia	0.9823Fewer readmissions than expected
COPD (chronic lung disease)	0.9963Fewer readmissions than expected
Hip or knee replacement	1.0358More readmissions than expected
Coronary bypass surgery (CABG)	0.9335Fewer readmissions than expected

Source: Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program — CMS, released January 26, 2026; patients discharged July 2021 to June 2024.

Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program

What this means: Medicare scores hospitals in four areas, each from 0 to 100, and combines them into a Total Performance Score from 0 to 100. A higher score means better results on these measures. Medicare uses the score to adjust what it pays the hospital.

CMS says: This program adjusts payments to hospitals under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) based on the quality of care they deliver.

Total Performance Score	24.33 out of 100Median of the 2,455 hospitals in the program: 29.50
Clinical outcomes (deaths and complications)	50.00 out of 100
Person and community engagement (patient survey)	24.00 out of 100
Safety (infections and sepsis care)	23.33 out of 100
Efficiency and cost reduction (Medicare spending)	0.00 out of 100

Source: Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVBP) - Total Performance Score — CMS, released January 26, 2026, fiscal year 2026. Program description: The Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program — CMS, page last modified September 10, 2024.

Medicare spending per patient (MSPB)

What this means: This compares what Medicare spent on a hospital stay, counting the 3 days before it and the 30 days after, with the national median hospital, after adjusting for the patient’s age and health and for local prices. A ratio of 1.00 is the national median hospital; below 1.00 means Medicare spent less, above 1.00 means more. It measures the cost to Medicare, not the quality of care.

CMS says: The Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary (MSPB) Measure shows whether Medicare spends more, less, or about the same for an episode of care (episode) at a specific hospital compared to all hospitals nationally.

Medicare spending per patient, ratio	1.00Same as the national median hospital
