Quality measures

Mortality

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

Underlying measures: Hybrid Hospital-Wide All-Cause Risk Standardized Mortality Rate Number of Cases Too Small Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2024 – 06/30/2025 CMS measure id: Hybrid_HWM Death rate for CABG surgery patients Not Available Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2022 – 06/30/2025 CMS measure id: MORT_30_CABG Death rate for COPD patients Number of Cases Too Small Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2022 – 06/30/2025 CMS measure id: MORT_30_COPD Death rate for heart attack patients Not Available Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2022 – 06/30/2025 CMS measure id: MORT_30_AMI Death rate for heart failure patients Number of Cases Too Small Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2022 – 06/30/2025 CMS measure id: MORT_30_HF Death rate for pneumonia patients Number of Cases Too Small Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2022 – 06/30/2025 CMS measure id: MORT_30_PN Death rate for stroke patients Number of Cases Too Small Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2023 – 06/30/2025 CMS measure id: MORT_30_STK

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 Daniels'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 N/A
  • Communication with Doctors N/A
  • Hospital Cleanliness N/A
  • Hospital Quietness N/A
  • Staff Responsiveness N/A
  • Discharge Information N/A
  • Overall Hospital Rating (9 or 10) N/A
  • Would Recommend Hospital N/A

Percentages represent patients who gave the most positive response. Survey conducted by CMS through the HCAHPS program.

Showing 14 of 14 clinicians (alphabetical)

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.
