How the order is set. Hospitals are sorted by CMS's overall hospital quality star rating (1 to 5 stars), which combines death rates, safety, readmissions, patient experience and timely care. Ties are broken by the patient survey star rating, then by the share of patients who would definitely recommend the hospital. Hospitals CMS has not rated, often small, new or specialty hospitals, are not listed; neither are Veterans Affairs and military hospitals, which most patients cannot choose. Prices and ER times are shown for comparison and do not change the order. A star rating is a summary: for a specific operation, look at that hospital's page and ask your doctor.
