The Top-Rated Illinois Hospitals for Patient Experience
by Gabrielle Masson
Using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems scores from CMS, Becker’s has compiled a list of the best hospitals for patient experience in each state. Hospitals either received five or four patient summary star ratings.
Using data from the 10 HCAHPS measures publicly reported on Hospital Compare, CMS created 10 star ratings. In addition to star ratings for the 10 HCAHPS measures, CMS is introducing the HCAHPS summary star rating, which is the average of the star ratings of the 10 topic-specific HCAHPS measures. The HCAHPS summary star rating combines information about different aspects of patient experience of care to make it easier to compare hospitals.
All hospitals received 5 star ratings
Hammond Henry Hospital (Geneseo)
Hopedale Hospital
Salem Township Hospital
Memorial Hospital (Chester)
St. Francis Hospital (Litchfield)
Wabash General Hospital (Mount Carmel)
Massac Memorial Hospital (Metropolis)
Crawford Memorial Hospital (Robinson)
St. Joseph’s Hospital (Highland)
