CMS Adds Dialysis Facility Star Ratings


CMS Adds Dialysis Facility Star Ratings

Date Posted: Tuesday, February 10, 2015

 

Just released, CMS has just added star ratings to the Dialysis Facility Compare website. These ratings summarize performance data, making it easier for consumers to use the information to compare facilities' quality of care. These ratings spotlight excellence in health care quality. CMS has also updated data on individual quality measures to reflect the most recent data for existing measures.

Star ratings can help consumers quickly identify differences in quality and make use of the reporting information when selecting a facility. In addition to summarizing performance, star ratings can help dialysis facilities identify areas for improvement. They are useful to consumers, consumer advocates, health care providers, and other stakeholders, when updated regularly to present the most current information.

The page is easy to use. Just go to the page and enter your Zip Code to find the facilities and their ratings in your area.
