How Hospital Ratings Work

What is HCAHPS?
The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) is the first national, standardized, publicly reported survey of patients' perspectives on hospital care. Developed by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), HCAHPS has been in use since 2006 and is administered to a random sample of adult inpatients between 48 hours and 6 weeks after discharge.
How are star ratings calculated?
CMS converts raw survey responses into 1-5 star ratings using a statistical clustering algorithm that adjusts for patient mix (age, health status, education level, language). The overall star rating is a weighted summary of 8 individual quality dimensions. Stars are recalculated quarterly based on the most recent 12-month survey period. Hospitals must have at least 100 completed surveys to receive a star rating.
About this hospital's survey data
TROY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL received 109 completed patient surveys with a 34% response rate. This meets the CMS minimum threshold for star rating assignment, though larger samples provide greater confidence.
