According to CMS Care Compare, Jewish Hospital-Mercy Health's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its rates of potentially-preventable readmissions, both during the rehabilitation stay and after discharge, are also each reported as 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its rate of C. diff healthcare-associated infection is reported as 'No Different than the National Benchmark.' CMS does not report a measure for catheter-associated urinary tract infections at this facility, which may reflect a low number of qualifying cases rather than any quality concern.
Taken together, CMS rates this facility as performing at the national benchmark on all of its reported measures — 0 measures better than the national rate and 0 measures worse than the national rate. This information comes from CMS Care Compare and reflects the most recently published data available for this facility.
