About
Key insights into patient satisfaction levels at hospitals across the United States that receive payments from Medicare and Medicaid are provided in this data collection. Spanning five years, it details annual quality data submitted to The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The data allows for the analysis of patient experiences and overall hospital quality, which can be influenced by factors such as hospital type, location, and the quality of customer service. It utilises the CMS Star Rating Program, where health plans and hospitals are scored on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 representing the highest quality.
