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

  26.7 deaths per 100 patient-years

  National average: 22.2

  Based on 19 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.

• Hospital readmissions

  As Expected

  36.6% of hospital stays followed by an unplanned readmission within 30 days

  National average: 27.2%

  Based on 19 hospital stays.

  Unplanned return trips to the hospital within 30 days of discharge.

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.
