Becker's has compiled a list of the hospitals patients are most likely to recommend in every state using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems data from CMS.
CMS shares 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported HCAHPS measures. The recommended hospital star rating is based on patients' responses to the question, "Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?" Hospitals must have at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys in a four-quarter period to be eligible for a star rating. Learn more about the methodology here.
The star rating is based on survey data collected from hospital patients from October 2022 through September 2023. The figures are from CMS' Provider Data Catalog and were released July 31. Asterisks denote that CMS included a footnote about the organization's data, which are summarized below.
