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) | 0.71No different from the national benchmark |
|---|---|
| Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) | 1.13No different from the national benchmark |

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 | 12% |
|---|---|
| Deaths within 30 days: heart failure patients | 13% |
| Deaths within 30 days: pneumonia patients | 14% |
| Deaths within 30 days: COPD patients | 9.5% |
| Deaths within 30 days: stroke patients | 9.8% |

Source: Complications and Deaths - Hospital — CMS, released September 10, 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.

| Readmitted within 30 days: heart failure | 19.5% |

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) | 259 minutesNational average: 162 minutes |
| Patients who left the emergency room before being seen (OP-22) | 3%National average: 2% |
| Sepsis patients who got all the recommended early care (SEP-1) | 48%National average: 65% |
