Medicare Care Compare
Medicare's Care Compare (which replaced Hospital Compare in 2020) reports on the quality of care at more than 5,000 Medicare-certified hospitals across the country, including star ratings and patient survey results.
You can use this information to:
- compare hospitals before a planned stay or procedure
- see how patients rated communication with nurses and doctors, cleanliness, quietness and discharge planning
In an emergency, go to the nearest hospital. When you can plan ahead, discuss this information with your doctor to decide which hospital best meets your needs.
The data comes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and is refreshed on this site every week.
