Context that affects how to read this rating

Bath VA Medical Center is a VA Medical Center. Quality measures shown above come from CMS via the VA's participation in federal quality reporting — covering mortality, safety (including hospital-acquired infections), and patient experience. VA hospitals do not participate in the Medicare Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) or Timely & Effective Care reporting, so those domains are not measured here. The VA also publishes its own per-facility quality framework called SAIL (Strategic Analytics for Improvement and Learning) which covers veterans-specific care quality.

Quality measures

Mortality

Same as 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: Death rate for pneumonia patients No Different Than the National Rate Hospital score: 13.80 95% interval: 8.30 – 22.20 Sample size: 29 Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_PN Hybrid Hospital-Wide All-Cause Risk Standardized Mortality Rate Not Available Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2023 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: Hybrid_HWM Death rate for CABG surgery patients Not Available Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_CABG Death rate for COPD patients Number of Cases Too Small Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_COPD Death rate for heart attack patients Number of Cases Too Small Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_AMI Death rate for heart failure patients Number of Cases Too Small Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_HF Death rate for stroke patients Not Available Hospital score: — Reporting period: 07/01/2021 – 06/30/2024 CMS measure id: MORT_30_STK

Same as National Average

Tracks hospital-acquired infections, surgical complications, and other patient safety indicators. Lower rates indicate better safety practices.

Readmissions

Not measured for this facility type

Measures how often patients return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Lower readmission rates suggest effective treatment and discharge planning.

VA hospitals do not participate in this Medicare-only CMS program.

Patient Experience

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 Bath'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 N/A
  • Communication with Doctors N/A
  • Hospital Cleanliness N/A
  • Hospital Quietness N/A
  • Staff Responsiveness N/A
  • Discharge Information N/A
  • Overall Hospital Rating (9 or 10) N/A
  • Would Recommend Hospital N/A

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

Timely & Effective Care

Not measured for this facility type

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

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.
