Quality measures

Mortality

Measures the rate at which patients die within 30 days of hospital admission for specific conditions. A lower mortality rate indicates better outcomes.

Readmissions

Measures how often patients return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Lower readmission rates suggest effective treatment and discharge planning.

Patient Experience

Based on the HCAHPS survey — patient satisfaction with communication, cleanliness, pain management, and discharge information.

Patient survey detail — the questions feeding the Patient Experience domain above expand ↓

CMS computes the Patient Experience domain from the federal HCAHPS survey. Each bar below is one survey question; the percentage is the share of Medical's recent patients who gave the most positive response. HCAHPS percentages aren't directly comparable across all measures — see the methodology page for how CMS weights them.

  • Communication with Nurses N/A
  • Communication with Doctors N/A
  • Hospital Cleanliness N/A
  • Hospital Quietness N/A
  • Staff Responsiveness N/A
  • Discharge Information N/A
  • Overall Hospital Rating (9 or 10) N/A
  • Would Recommend Hospital N/A

Percentages represent patients who gave the most positive response. Survey conducted by CMS through the HCAHPS program.

Psychiatric Unit Quality (IPFQR)

Medical Center Barbour operates a Medicare-certified inpatient psychiatric unit that reports under the federal IPFQR program. The measures below are specific to that unit — not the hospital as a whole. They cover restraint and seclusion use, screening for medication side effects, substance-use and tobacco treatment, transitions of care, follow-up after discharge, and readmissions.

Physical Restraint Use 0.0 hours per 1,000 patient-hours
National median: 0.1 hours Near national median

HBIPS-2 — hours of physical restraint use per 1,000 patient-hours. Lower is better; restraints carry physical and psychological risks.

Seclusion Use 0.0 hours per 1,000 patient-hours
National median: 0.0 hours Near national median

HBIPS-3 — hours of seclusion per 1,000 patient-hours. Lower is better; seclusion is used only when no other intervention works.

Bill Medicare directly at the approved rate — patients only owe co-insurance/deductible.

Offer telehealth
1 (2%)

Indicated by the clinician in their CMS profile as routinely providing virtual visits.

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)

21 of these clinicians have a published Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score. Of those, 14 (67%) score above the national median of 85.5.

MIPS scoring is heavily compressed at the top of the 0–100 range, so individual scores are not a reliable consumer signal. We surface roster-level coverage and the share above the national median instead.

Source: CMS Doctors and Clinicians (Care Compare) national downloadable file and MIPS Performance Year final scores, as of 2026-05-27. Affiliations from the CMS Facility Affiliations dataset. About 16% of small facilities (critical access, rural emergency, freestanding psych, IRF/LTCH) do not appear in the affiliations file and therefore have no panel.

About this data

Quality and ratings data are sourced from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare program. Star ratings are CMS's own calculation; CareRanks does not modify or re-weight them. Facility-level details (address, beds, ownership, teaching status) come from CMS provider files and the CMS Provider of Services file.

Pricing data, where shown, is drawn from the hospital's own Machine-Readable File (MRF) published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. See our methodology for the full update cadence and limitations.
