For healthcare-associated infections, the facility's C. diff infection rate is reported as 'No Different than the National Benchmark.' A catheter-associated infection measure was not specified in the available data, which may reflect that CMS has not published a rate for this measure, often due to low case counts, rather than any indication of quality concerns.
Overall, among the measures reported, CMS rates this facility as performing the same as the national benchmark on 0 of 5 measures as better and 0 of 5 as worse — meaning its reported results are statistically similar to national averages across the board. This summary is based on CMS Care Compare data as most recently published.
