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)	18	1.0106 above 1	1.0042	No
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)	48	1.0168 above 1	1.0028	Yes
Heart failure (HF)	138	1.0433 above 1	1.0143	Yes
Pneumonia (PN)	91	1.0103 above 1	1.0093	Yes

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.
