Becker's has compiled a list of the hospitals with a CMS five-star rating for care transitions.
CMS' "Patient survey (HCAHPS)-Hospital" database listed hospital ratings based on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey. This is a national, standardized survey of hospital patients about their experience during a recent inpatient hospital stay. The survey was completed between October 2022 and September 2023. The data was last updated July 31.
