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
Tracks hospital-acquired infections, surgical complications, and other patient safety indicators. Lower rates indicate better safety practices.
Readmissions
Measures how often patients return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Lower readmission rates suggest effective treatment and discharge planning.
Patient Experience
Based 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 Madelia'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 87%
- Communication with Doctors 83%
- Hospital Cleanliness 88%
- Hospital Quietness 83%
- Staff Responsiveness N/A
- Discharge Information 91%
- Overall Hospital Rating (9 or 10) 86%
- Would Recommend Hospital 83%
Percentages represent patients who gave the most positive response. Survey conducted by CMS through the HCAHPS program.
Timely & Effective Care
Same as National AverageMeasures how quickly the hospital provides important treatments such as antibiotics for pneumonia or interventions for heart attacks.

Roster from CMS Doctors and Clinicians (Care Compare), updated 2026-09-05. 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.
