A new report published by Becker’s Hospital Review has shared that SSM Health Monroe Hospital has again achieved Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) overall 5-Star Rating for the eighth time.
This honor puts SSM Health Monroe Hospital as part of elite group of healthcare providers. Only 429 hospitals nationwide received a 5-Star rating in 2022.
The CMS ranking system modeled the 5-Star Quality Rating System after the star rating system used by hotels, restaurants and other service industries where consumers choose higher star rating facilities to help ensure the best experience possible.
Categories included in this rating system are patient experience, safety, effectiveness of care, patient readmissions, efficient use of medical imaging, timeliness of care and mortality.
“This 5-Star Rating speaks to real life patient experiences that take place every day at SSM Health Monroe Hospital and the benefits that our hospital brings to our rural communities,” shared Jane Curran-Meuli, President of SSM Health Monroe Hospital and Monroe Clinic Medical Group. “It is a testament of our Mission as we bring our best for our patients.”
The five-star ratings went to four SSM Health Wisconsin hospitals: SSM Health Monroe Hospital, SSM Health St. Clare Hospital – Baraboo, SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital – Janesville, and SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital – Madison.
