CMS updated its Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings for 2020, giving 407 hospitals a rating of five stars and Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is one of them.
CMS assigned star ratings to more than 4,500 hospitals nationwide based on their performance across seven areas of quality. This is the first star ratings update since February 2019.
The overall CMS 5 star hospital rating summarizes a variety of measures on Hospital Compare reflecting common conditions that hospitals treat, such as heart attacks or pneumonia. Hospitals may perform more complex services or procedures not reflected in the measures on Hospital Compare.
CMS publishes a 5 star rating twice a year, January and July.
