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)	53	0.9978 at or below 1	0.9963	Yes
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)	56	0.9645 at or below 1	0.9976	No
Heart failure (HF)	134	0.9427 at or below 1	1.0027	No
Pneumonia (PN)	145	1.0231 above 1	0.9941	Yes
Elective total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA)	38	0.9219 at or below 1	0.9914	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.
