Munson Medical Center recently received a five-star rating from CMS on its Hospital Compare website, placing it among the top 10 percent of hospitals in the nation.
The hospital was one of just 407 hospitals to achieve the highest rating of more than 4,500 hospitals nationally measured by CMS. Only 20 hospitals in the state achieved the highest rating, including Munson Healthcare Cadillac Hospital.
“This rating reflects the continued efforts of staff and physicians to provide high-quality care for our patients each and every day,” said Kevin Omilusik, MD, FACEP, CHCQM, chief medical officer and physician advisor for patient care management at Munson Medical Center. “I want to applaud our staff and thank our communities for their continued confidence in our efforts as we strive to keep them at the center of all we do.”
Hospital Compare was established in 2015 to help consumers make sense of overall quality information when choosing a hospital. The CMS Hospital Compare rating system compares hospitals in seven quality areas: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, effectiveness of care, timeliness of care, and efficient use of medical imaging.
It last updated its star rating system in February 2019. Munson Medical Center was rated as a four-star hospital in 2019.
