CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating · Saint Alphonsus Medical Center - Nampa

How was Saint Alphonsus Medical Center - Nampa's 4-star rating calculated?

The CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating applies to acute care hospitals like Saint Alphonsus Medical Center - Nampa. CMS standardizes every underlying measure against the national rate, computes a weighted score for each of five domains, sums them by the fixed weights below, and assigns 1–5 stars using k-means clustering across all reporting hospitals.

Domains that fed Saint Alphonsus Medical Center - Nampa's rating
Domain Weight Measures reported Hospital performance vs. national
Mortality 22% 6 of 7 0 better 6 same 0 worse
Safety of Care 22% 18 of 19 0 better 18 same 0 worse
Readmissions 22% 5 of 6 1 better 3 same 1 worse
Timely & Effective Care 12% 16 of 22 1 better 12 same 3 worse
Patient Experience 22% HCAHPS See HCAHPS detail below

How star meaning varies by hospital type. This CMS Overall Star Rating only applies to acute care hospitals. Children's hospitals (Pediatric Quality), psychiatric hospitals (IPFQR), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRF QRP), long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH QRP), and VA medical centers each use separate quality programs designed for their patient populations. Comparing star ratings across these facility types isn't meaningful — see the methodology page for the full mapping of which program applies to which facility.

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)

117 of these clinicians have a published Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score. Of those, 50 (43%) 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.

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.
