Quality measures
Mortality
Same as National AverageMeasures the rate at which patients die within 30 days of hospital admission for specific conditions. A lower mortality rate indicates better outcomes.
Safety of Care
Same as National AverageTracks hospital-acquired infections, surgical complications, and other patient safety indicators. Lower rates indicate better safety practices.
Readmissions
Same as National AverageMeasures how often patients return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Lower readmission rates suggest effective treatment and discharge planning.

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 Ouachita'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 82%
- Communication with Doctors 91%
- Hospital Cleanliness 65%
- Hospital Quietness 69%
- Staff Responsiveness N/A
- Discharge Information 83%
- Overall Hospital Rating (9 or 10) 68%
- Would Recommend Hospital 58%
Percentages represent patients who gave the most positive response. Survey conducted by CMS through the HCAHPS program.
Timely & Effective Care

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)
8 of these clinicians have a published Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score. Of those, 1 (13%) 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.
