What CMS measured, FY2027

The conditions CMS measured for this hospital in FY2027, with the excess readmission ratio as CMS published it and the median of the hospital’s peer group.
Condition	Eligible discharges	Excess readmission ratio	Peer group median	Counted by CMS
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI)	444	0.9993 at or below 1	0.9955	Yes
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)	340	1.1965 above 1	0.9954	Yes
Heart failure (HF)	601	1.0899 above 1	0.9928	Yes
Pneumonia (PN)	948	1.0362 above 1	0.9945	Yes
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)	114	1.1884 above 1	0.9837	Yes
Elective total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA)	49	0.8781 at or below 1	0.9942	No

A ratio above 1 means more readmissions than expected for the hospital’s patients. CMS counts a condition only when it has enough eligible discharges and its ratio is above the median of the hospital’s peer group, so a counted ratio can sit at or below 1. A counted condition adds to the hospital’s reduction, which can round to none.

A cut is a program’s formula at work, not a verdict on a hospital’s care. Nothing on this page ranks hospitals.
