(FORT HARRISON) ― The Fort Harrison VA Medical Center is proud to announce today that it received a 5-star Overall and 5-star Patient Satisfaction rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ annual Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating report.
This is the second consecutive year that the Fort Harrison VA Medical Center has received 5-star ratings in both categories.
The CMS’ Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings are based on five categories: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care. A higher star rating, out of five, indicates better performance along these quality measures.
“Receiving a 5-star rating from CMS is a reflection of the dedication our entire team brings to caring for Veterans every day,” said Kim Adkins, Interim Executive Director for the Montana VA Health Care System. “To also receive a 5-star rating in Patient Satisfaction is incredible. These ratings underscore our commitment to delivering safe, timely and high-quality care in Montana, and we are proud to contribute to VA’s continued nationwide excellence.”
