Patient Experience

Same as National Average

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 Whitfield'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 74%
  • Communication with Doctors 82%
  • Hospital Cleanliness 72%
  • Hospital Quietness 62%
  • Staff Responsiveness N/A
  • Discharge Information 81%
  • Overall Hospital Rating (9 or 10) 62%
  • Would Recommend Hospital 59%

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

Psychiatric Unit Quality (IPFQR)

Whitfield Regional Hospital 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.

Metabolic Screening (SMD) 100.0 %
National median: 92.0 % Near national median

SMD — % of patients on antipsychotics screened for metabolic side effects (BMI, blood glucose, cholesterol). Antipsychotics raise metabolic-syndrome risk; screening catches it early.

Substance-Use Treatment Provided 98.0 %
National median: 74.0 % Better than national median

SUB-2 — % of patients with alcohol/drug use referred for treatment during admission.

Substance-Use Treatment at Discharge 100.0 %
National median: 77.0 % Better than national median

SUB-3 — % of patients with substance-use disorder offered or referred to treatment at discharge.

Tobacco-Use Treatment at Discharge 100.0 %
National median: 64.0 % Better than national median

TOB-3 — % of patients using tobacco who received counseling and/or medication at discharge.

Transition Record Completed 99.0 %
National median: 77.0 % Better than national median

TR-1 — % of discharges with a completed transition record including medications, follow-up plan, and crisis instructions.

30-Day Readmission Rate 17.7 %
National median: 19.1 % Near national median

READM-30-IPF — risk-standardized 30-day readmission rate. No Different Than the National Rate

Influenza Immunization 99.0 %
National median: 87.0 % Better than national median

IMM-2 — % of patients given a flu vaccine during the inpatient stay.

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)

22 of these clinicians have a published Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score. Of those, 5 (23%) 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.
