Safety of Care
Same as National Average
Tracks hospital-acquired infections, surgical complications, and other patient safety indicators. Lower rates indicate better safety practices.
Measures 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.

CMS computes the Patient Experience domain from the federal HCAHPS survey.
Each bar below is one survey question; the percentage is the share of
Desoto'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.

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

Measures how quickly the hospital provides important treatments such as antibiotics for pneumonia or interventions for heart attacks.

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)
18 of these clinicians have a published
Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score.
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.

Each name links to that clinician's official Medicare Care Compare profile, where you can see
their credentials, secondary specialties, group affiliations, and (when applicable) MIPS quality scores.
No clinicians match that search. Try a broader term like "internal medicine" or just a last name.
Roster from CMS Doctors and Clinicians (Care Compare), updated 2026-05-27.
A clinician may also practice at other facilities; "affiliated" means this hospital is on their CMS
profile, not that they exclusively work here.
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
