CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating · Overlook Medical Center

How was Overlook Medical Center's 4-star rating calculated?

The CMS Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating applies to acute care hospitals like Overlook Medical Center. 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 Overlook Medical Center's rating
Domain Weight Measures reported Hospital performance vs. national
Mortality 22% 6 of 7 2 better 4 same 0 worse
Safety of Care 22% 19 of 19 3 better 16 same 0 worse
Readmissions 22% 5 of 6 4 better 1 same 0 worse
Timely & Effective Care 12% 15 of 22 5 better 7 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.

Quality measures

Mortality

Better than National Average

Measures the rate at which patients die within 30 days of hospital admission for specific conditions. A lower mortality rate indicates better outcomes.

Underlying measures: Hybrid Hospital-Wide All-Cause Risk Standardized Mortality Rate Better Than the National Rate Hospital score: 2.90 95% interval: 2.50 – 3.40 Sample size: 2,537 Reporting period: 07/01/2023 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: Hybrid_HWM Death rate for pneumonia patients Better Than the National Rate Hospital score: 14.10 95% interval: 12.20 – 16.10 Sample size: 862 Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_PN Death rate for COPD patients No Different Than the National Rate Hospital score: 6.80 95% interval: 4.70 – 9.70 Sample size: 168 Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_COPD Death rate for heart attack patients No Different Than the National Rate Hospital score: 11.10 95% interval: 8.90 – 13.80 Sample size: 216 Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_AMI Death rate for heart failure patients No Different Than the National Rate Hospital score: 10.40 95% interval: 8.70 – 12.30 Sample size: 726 Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_HF Death rate for stroke patients No Different Than the National Rate Hospital score: 11.90 95% interval: 10.00 – 14.10 Sample size: 458 Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_STK Death rate for CABG surgery patients Not Available Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_CABG

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 Overlook'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 76%
  • Communication with Doctors 77%
  • Hospital Cleanliness 73%
  • Hospital Quietness 47%
  • Staff Responsiveness N/A
  • Discharge Information 85%
  • Overall Hospital Rating (9 or 10) 67%
  • Would Recommend Hospital 70%

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

Psychiatric Unit Quality (IPFQR)

Overlook Medical Center 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 0.1 hours per 1,000 patient-hours
National median: 0.1 hours Worse than 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) 94.0 %
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 85.0 %
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 90.0 %
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 93.0 %
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 92.0 %
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.

Follow-up Within 7 Days 52.5 %
National median: 35.4 % Better than national median

FAPH-7 — % of patients with a follow-up outpatient mental-health visit within 7 days of discharge. Predicts lower readmission risk.

Follow-up Within 30 Days 80.0 %
National median: 60.7 % Better than national median

FAPH-30 — % of patients with a follow-up outpatient mental-health visit within 30 days of discharge.

Medication Continuation 85.9 %
National median: 78.2 % Near national median

MedCont — % of discharged patients with continued antipsychotic / antidepressant medication post-discharge.

30-Day Readmission Rate 15.2 %
National median: 19.1 % Better than national median

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

Influenza Immunization 93.0 %
National median: 87.0 % Near national median

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

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)

208 of these clinicians have a published Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score. Of those, 62 (30%) 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.
