Quality Measures
A hospital's overall quality cannot be expressed by its scores on these measures alone. Indicators do not currently exist to measure how well hospitals treat every type of illness or patient that they care for, although additional measures are under development. To learn more read About Hospital Quality.

Notes:
2. Measure reflects the hospital's indication that its submission was based on a sample of its relevant discharges.
(r) = hospitals participating in the HQA are required by CMS to report this measure
(v) = measure is reported voluntarily by hospital
Only required measures are counted in composite scores
Measures with fewer than 25 cases are not shown
What do these numbers mean?
The above measures, collected since 2003 by CMS, show what percentage of eligible patients received the treatments they needed.
| Measure Name | Performance |
|---|---|
| Adult heart surgery mortality rate | |
| Bypass operations only January 1-December 31, 2010 |  (average) |
| Valve operations or valve/bypass operations January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010 | (average) |
| Angioplasty mortality rate | |
| Angioplasty January 1-December 31, 2010 | (average) |
Risk-adjusted mortality rate is significantly below the average for New York hospitals.
Risk-adjusted mortality rate is not significantly above or below the
average for New York hospitals.
Risk-adjusted mortality rate is significantly higher than the average for New York hospitals.
What do these numbers mean?
The above measures, collected since 1989 by the NY State Department of Health, show how a hospital's risk-adjusted mortality rate for some heart surgeries and other major treatment procedures compares to the New York State average. View the full reports.
How do these scores compare to other hospitals?
To compare this hospital to others, first add this hospital to your list of My Hospitals. Then simply add at least one other hospital to your list, and the option to compare the hospitals will appear in the My Hospitals box on the upper right-hand part of this page.
