CMS 5-Star Quality Rating

CMS 5-Star Quality Rating
The official Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) quality rating for dialysis facilities. This rating is calculated using 7 key quality measures including patient outcomes, safety, and care effectiveness. Ratings range from 1-5 stars, with 5 stars indicating "much above average" quality.

CMS 5-Star Quality Rating

3.0 out of 5 stars

3.0 Stars

State Average

3.5 stars

National Average

1.9 stars

Official CMS quality rating based on 7 key measures including patient outcomes, safety, and care effectiveness. Higher star ratings indicate better quality care compared to other dialysis facilities.

This measures how often patients need blood transfusions. Dialysis centers with good anemia care (helping patients maintain healthy iron levels and red blood cell counts) have fewer patients needing transfusions. Fewer transfusions mean better care.

No Data

Avoiding Transfusions

Lower transfusion rates

Data Not Available

Not enough patients to report on this measure. This typically means the facility serves fewer than the minimum number of patients required for reliable statistical reporting.

This measures how many patients have a fistula (a connection between an artery and vein in the arm) for their dialysis access. Fistulas are the best type of access because they last longer, have fewer infections, and work better than other types like catheters. Higher percentages are better.

National Avg: 57.9%

This measures how well patients maintain healthy phosphorus levels in their blood. When phosphorus gets too high or too low, it can cause serious bone problems and heart disease. Good dialysis centers help patients keep their phosphorus in the healthy range (3.5-4.5 mg/dL) through diet education and proper treatment.

Worse

This measures how often patients end up in the hospital. Good dialysis centers work to keep patients healthy and out of the hospital by providing quality treatment, monitoring for problems early, and coordinating with other doctors. Fewer hospitalizations usually mean better care.

Worse

Preventing Hospitalizations

Lower hospitalization rates

212.7 per 100 pt-years

National Avg: 144.7 per 100 pt-years

This measures patient survival rates. Dialysis centers with better care, equipment, and staff training typically have lower death rates among their patients. This is one of the most important measures of overall care quality.

Worse

Preventing Deaths

Lower mortality rates

31.4 per 100 pt-years

National Avg: 22.5 per 100 pt-years

This measures how often patients get serious bloodstream infections. These infections can be life-threatening and often happen through the access point where patients connect to the dialysis machine. Centers with better infection control practices have lower infection rates. A score below 1.0 means fewer infections than expected.

This measures how effectively dialysis cleans toxins and waste from patients' blood. Kt/V is a calculation that shows if patients are getting enough dialysis time and treatment. A score of 1.2 or higher means the patient is getting adequate dialysis. Higher percentages mean more patients are getting proper treatment.

This measures how well dialysis centers help eligible patients get on the kidney transplant waiting list. A kidney transplant is usually the best long-term treatment for kidney failure. Good centers educate patients about transplants and help them through the evaluation process. Higher scores mean more patients are getting this important opportunity.

Emergency Department Visits

Standardized ED Visit Ratio

Target: < 1.0 (below expected)

This tracks how often patients end up back in the emergency room within 30 days of leaving the hospital. Good dialysis centers coordinate with hospitals and provide proper follow-up care to prevent patients from getting sick again right after discharge. Lower numbers are better.

This measures how often patients switch between different types of dialysis (like from hemodialysis to peritoneal dialysis, or vice versa). Good centers help patients choose the right type of dialysis for their lifestyle and medical needs, and avoid unnecessary switches that might be disruptive to care.
