CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating · Chambers Memorial Hospital
How was Chambers Memorial Hospital's 4-star rating calculated?
The CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating applies to
acute care hospitals like Chambers Memorial Hospital. CMS standardizes
every underlying measure against the national rate, computes
a weighted score for each of five domains, sums them by the
fixed weights below, and assigns 1–5 stars using k-means
clustering across all reporting hospitals.

How star meaning varies by hospital type.
This CMS Overall Star Rating only applies to acute care
hospitals. Children's hospitals (Pediatric Quality), psychiatric
hospitals (IPFQR), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRF QRP),
long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH QRP), and VA medical centers
each use separate quality programs designed for their patient
populations. Comparing star ratings across these facility types
isn't meaningful — see the methodology page for the full mapping
of which program applies to which facility.

Measures the rate at which patients die within 30 days of hospital admission for specific conditions. A lower mortality rate indicates better outcomes.

Safety of Care
Same as National Average
Tracks hospital-acquired infections, surgical complications, and other patient safety indicators. Lower rates indicate better safety practices.
Measures how often patients return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Lower readmission rates suggest effective treatment and discharge planning.
Based on the HCAHPS survey — patient satisfaction with communication, cleanliness, pain management, and discharge information.

Psychiatric Unit Quality (IPFQR)
Chambers Memorial Hospital operates a Medicare-certified inpatient psychiatric unit that reports under the federal IPFQR program. The measures are specific to that unit — not the hospital as a whole. They cover restraint and seclusion use, screening for medication side effects, substance-use and tobacco treatment, transitions of care, follow-up after discharge, and readmissions.
Show the psychiatric unit's 9 reported measures expand ↓
Physical Restraint Use 0.0 hours per 1,000 patient-hours
National median: 0.1 hours Near national median
HBIPS-2 — hours of physical restraint use per 1,000 patient-hours. Lower is better; restraints carry physical and psychological risks.
Seclusion Use 0.1 hours per 1,000 patient-hours
National median: 0.0 hours Near national median
HBIPS-3 — hours of seclusion per 1,000 patient-hours. Lower is better; seclusion is used only when no other intervention works.
Metabolic Screening (SMD) 74.0 %
National median: 92.0 % Worse than national median
SMD — % of patients on antipsychotics screened for metabolic side effects (BMI, blood glucose, cholesterol). Antipsychotics raise metabolic-syndrome risk; screening catches it early.
Substance-Use Treatment Provided 1.0 %
National median: 74.0 % Worse than national median
SUB-2 — % of patients with alcohol/drug use referred for treatment during admission.
Substance-Use Treatment at Discharge 100.0 %
National median: 77.0 % Better than national median
SUB-3 — % of patients with substance-use disorder offered or referred to treatment at discharge.
Tobacco-Use Treatment at Discharge 17.0 %
National median: 64.0 % Worse than national median
TOB-3 — % of patients using tobacco who received counseling and/or medication at discharge.
Transition Record Completed 100.0 %
National median: 77.0 % Better than national median
TR-1 — % of discharges with a completed transition record including medications, follow-up plan, and crisis instructions.
30-Day Readmission Rate 22.2 %
National median: 19.1 % Worse than national median
READM-30-IPF — risk-standardized 30-day readmission rate. No Different Than the National Rate
Influenza Immunization 59.0 %
National median: 87.0 % Worse than national median
IMM-2 — % of patients given a flu vaccine during the inpatient stay.

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)
14 of these clinicians have a published
Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score.
Of those, 5
(36%) score above the national median of 85.5.
MIPS scoring is heavily compressed at the top of the 0–100 range, so individual scores
are not a reliable consumer signal. We surface roster-level coverage and the share
above the national median instead.

A clinician may also practice at other facilities; "affiliated" means this hospital is on their CMS
profile, not that they exclusively work here.
Procedure volumes are Medicare fee-for-service counts from the CMS
clinician utilization file (all practice locations, not just this
hospital). Industry payment totals are from CMS Open Payments,
program year 2024, and include meals, travel, consulting, and
speaking fees; payments are legal and common — we show them for

How nearby comparisons work
Quality and ratings data are sourced from the U.S. Centers for

Star ratings are CMS's own calculation; CareRanks does not modify
or re-weight them. Facility-level details (address, beds,
ownership, teaching status) come from CMS provider files and the
CMS Provider of Services file.
Pricing data, where shown, is drawn from the hospital's own
