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.

Better

Avoiding Transfusions

Lower transfusion rates

11.9 per 100 pt-years

National Avg: 32.8 per 100 pt-years

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.

Fistula Access

Arteriovenous fistula rate

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

Phosphorus Control

Optimal phosphorus levels

20.0%

State Avg: 22.0%

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.

Better

Preventing Hospitalizations

Lower hospitalization rates

79.3 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.

Better

Preventing Deaths

Lower mortality rates

16.7 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.
