Clinical Outcomes

Where CMS publishes its own comparison — Better than Expected, As Expected, or Worse than Expected — it is shown verbatim. National averages come from CMS's national dialysis file; for measures without a CMS comparison, we show the national average without a verdict.

• Patient survival

  As Expected

  36.8 deaths per 100 patient-years

  National average: 22.2

  Based on 38 patients.

  CMS compares each facility’s patient death rate with what it would expect given the patients it treats. The comparison label is CMS’s own.

Measures and comparison labels are from CMS Dialysis Facility Care Compare. CMS risk-adjusts survival, hospitalization, readmission, and infection measures for patient mix, so facilities treating sicker patients are not penalized for it.
