MelroseWakefield Hospital
Emergency & urgent care
How this emergency department performs on the measures that matter most when you need care fast.
From CMS Timely & Effective Care reporting.
Quality measures
Mortality
Same as National AverageMeasures 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 AverageTracks hospital-acquired infections, surgical complications, and other patient safety indicators. Lower rates indicate better safety practices.
Readmissions
Below National AverageMeasures how often patients return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Lower readmission rates suggest effective treatment and discharge planning.
Patient Experience
Same as National AverageBased on the HCAHPS survey — patient satisfaction with communication, cleanliness, pain management, and discharge information.
Patient survey detail — the questions feeding the Patient Experience domain above expand ↓
CMS computes the Patient Experience domain from the federal HCAHPS survey. Each bar below is one survey question; the percentage is the share of MelroseWakefield's recent patients who gave the most positive response. HCAHPS percentages aren't directly comparable across all measures — see the methodology page for how CMS weights them.
- Communication with Nurses 82%
- Communication with Doctors 78%
- Hospital Cleanliness 60%
- Hospital Quietness 46%
- Staff Responsiveness N/A
- Discharge Information 85%
- Overall Hospital Rating (9 or 10) 68%
- Would Recommend Hospital 63%
Percentages represent patients who gave the most positive response. Survey conducted by CMS through the HCAHPS program.
Timely & Effective Care
Below National AverageMeasures how quickly the hospital provides important treatments such as antibiotics for pneumonia or interventions for heart attacks.
Psychiatric Unit Quality (IPFQR)
MelroseWakefield 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 12 reported measures expand ↓
HBIPS-2 — hours of physical restraint use per 1,000 patient-hours. Lower is better; restraints carry physical and psychological risks.
HBIPS-3 — hours of seclusion per 1,000 patient-hours. Lower is better; seclusion is used only when no other intervention works.
SMD — % of patients on antipsychotics screened for metabolic side effects (BMI, blood glucose, cholesterol). Antipsychotics raise metabolic-syndrome risk; screening catches it early.
SUB-2 — % of patients with alcohol/drug use referred for treatment during admission.
SUB-3 — % of patients with substance-use disorder offered or referred to treatment at discharge.
TOB-3 — % of patients using tobacco who received counseling and/or medication at discharge.
TR-1 — % of discharges with a completed transition record including medications, follow-up plan, and crisis instructions.
FAPH-7 — % of patients with a follow-up outpatient mental-health visit within 7 days of discharge. Predicts lower readmission risk.
FAPH-30 — % of patients with a follow-up outpatient mental-health visit within 30 days of discharge.
MedCont — % of discharged patients with continued antipsychotic / antidepressant medication post-discharge.
READM-30-IPF — risk-standardized 30-day readmission rate. No Different Than the National Rate
IMM-2 — % of patients given a flu vaccine during the inpatient stay.

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)
98 of these clinicians have a published Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score. Of those, 68 (69%) 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.

About 16% of small facilities (critical access, rural emergency, freestanding psych, IRF/LTCH) do not appear in the affiliations file and therefore have no panel.

Roster from CMS Doctors and Clinicians (Care Compare), updated 2026-07-18. 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 transparency, not as a quality judgment.

About this data
Quality and ratings data are sourced from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare program. 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 Machine-Readable File (MRF) published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. See our methodology for the full update cadence and limitations.
