Pullman Regional Hospital recently received a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for Overall Patient Experience. CMS uses a 5-star quality rating system to measure the experiences Medicare beneficiaries have with their health plan and health care system. Patient Rated Hospital
J. Craig Mick Lester Nazerali
Out of more than 3,400 hospitals nationwide to receive star ratings in July 2020, only 266 hospitals (less than 8%) received five stars, and Pullman Regional Hospital was one of only two hospitals in Washington state to receive 5-stars. CMS’ overall patient experience summary ratings are distinct from overall quality ratings and use criteria from 10 different Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey topics. Scott Adams, CEO of Pullman Regional Hospital, said the recognition serves as a strong reminder of the trust patients have in their community hospital. “In a time of uncertainty in our communities and the world, you can continue to count on Pullman Regional Hospital for high quality healthcare experience.” Pullman Regional Hospital has received 5-star ratings in patient experience by CMS in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
