Mary Rutan Health has been recognized for the third year in a row as a top performer in quality and safety. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded Mary Rutan Health with their third consecutive 5-star rating, the highest possible.
The CMS ratings program has become a trusted resource consumers can rely on in evaluating organizations dedicated to safe and high-quality patient care. The CMS Overall Star Rating assigns 1-5 stars based on a hospital’s performance across several quality performance areas: mortality, safety of care, readmission rate, patient experience, and timeliness and effectiveness of care.
Across the country, 483 hospitals earned a 5-Star CMS rating, representing approximately 10 percent of US hospitals, placing Mary Rutan Health among the top hospitals in Ohio and the nation.
“At Mary Rutan Health, our patients are the center of everything we do,” said Chad Ross, Mary Rutan Health President and CEO. “A CMS 5-Star rating affirms that we are among the nation’s best at providing exceptional patient care and achieving superior outcomes. This recognition belongs to every one of our team members, Medical Staff members, and volunteers who always put the care, safety, and experience of our patients first.”
Mary Rutan Health has routinely been recognized for its level of safe and high-quality care, having previously earned the 5-star CMS rating while also earning consecutive ‘A’ patient safety grades from the Leapfrog Group.
