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
Ascension's recent patients who gave the most positive
response. HCAHPS percentages aren't directly comparable across all measures —
