HOSPITALS: A starring role

I receive a weekly e-mail compilation of medical news, and the most recent edition listed by state the hospitals that received a top (five-star) ranking from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services this year. Among the 407 five-star hospitals were Chester County Hospital, Lancaster General Hospital, and Paoli Hospital. No hospitals in Delaware were on the five-star list.
The federal agency ranks more than 4,500 hospitals nationwide based on seven factors: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, effectiveness of care, timeliness of care, and efficient use of medical imaging.
