Hospital overall rating: “The Overall Star Rating summarizes measures publicly reported on Care Compare into a single rating. The measures come from the IQR, OQR, and other programs and encompass measures in five measure groups: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, timely & effective care. The hospitals can receive between one and five stars, with five stars being the highest rating, and the more stars, the better the hospital performs on the quality measures.”

Patient survey star rating (HCAHPS summary star rating): “HCAHPS Star Ratings provide a quick summary of each HCAHPS measure in a format that allows consumers to more easily compare hospitals. The HCAHPS Summary Star Rating is a roll-up of all the HCAHPS Star Ratings.”
