A leading national healthcare publication has Tomah Health among 529 facilities in the nation and one of 39 in Wisconsin with a 5-star rating for nurse communication.
Becker’s Hospital Review compiled the list of hospitals that were rated 5- stars for nurse communication in each state, according to CMS’ Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems data.
CMS shares 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported HCAHPS measures.
For nurse communication, data from HCAHPS survey questions were used which summarized how well patients feel that their nurses explained things clearly, listened carefully to them, and treated them with courtesy and respect.
The data was collected between October 2023 and September 2024, and released on Aug. 6.
