Context that affects how to read this rating

St Louis Childrens Hospital is a specialized pediatric hospital. CMS does not assign an Overall Star Rating to children's hospitals — that program is calibrated for adult acute care. The measure chips below are the underlying CMS data we have for this facility (mortality, safety, hospital-acquired infections, patient experience, and where reported, timely care). For pediatric-specific quality programs (CHIPRA Core Set, AHRQ Pediatric Quality Indicators, Vermont Oxford Network for NICU, NSQIP-Pediatric for surgical outcomes), refer to the hospital directly or to U.S. News & World Report's Best Children's Hospitals rankings.

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.

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.
