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 Tripler AMC (FT Shafter) 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) | 4 of 5 stars |
|---|---|
| Overall rating of the hospital | 3 of 5 stars |
| Would recommend the hospital | 4 of 5 stars |
| Nurses communicated well | 5 of 5 stars |
| Doctors communicated well | 4 of 5 stars |
| Patients got help quickly from staff | 4 of 5 stars |
| Staff explained medicines | 4 of 5 stars |
| Information about recovery at home | 4 of 5 stars |
| Room and bathroom kept clean | 4 of 5 stars |
| Restfulness of Environment | 4 of 5 stars |
| Care Coordination | 3 of 5 stars |
| Symptoms After Stay | 4 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) | 0.578No different from the national benchmark |
|---|---|
| Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) | 1.505No different from the national benchmark |
| Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) intestinal infections | 2.591Worse than the national benchmark |
| Not reported to Medicare | Surgical site infections after colon surgery; Surgical site infections after abdominal hysterectomy; MRSA bloodstream infections |

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) | High (40,000–59,999) |
|---|---|
| Average (median) time patients spent in the emergency room before leaving (OP-18b) | 186 minutesNational average: 162 minutes |
| Patients who left the emergency room before being seen (OP-22) | 5%National average: 2% |
| Sepsis patients who got all the recommended early care (SEP-1) | 67%National average: 66% |
Source: Timely and Effective Care - Hospital — CMS, released October 19, 2026; data from January 2024 to December 2024.
Not reported to Medicare: complications and deaths, readmissions. For these topics Medicare shows no result for this hospital (not reported, or too few cases).
