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.

• Hospital admissions

  As Expected

  158.0 admissions per 100 patient-years

  National average: 148.0

  Based on 11 patients.

  How often this facility’s patients are admitted to the hospital, adjusted by CMS for patient mix.

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.
