How Did CMS Rate US News'
20 Honor Roll Hospitals?
By Heather Punke
U
.S. News & World Report released its 2016-17
hospital rankings Aug. 2, roughly a week on
the heels of CMS releasing its Overall Hospital
Quality Star Rating program. Just one of the 20 hospi-
tals on U.S. News' Honor Roll received a five-star rating
from CMS as well — and three received just two stars.
Below, the 20 Honor Roll hospitals are listed in rank or-
der from U.S. News, along with their overall star rating
from CMS.
1. Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minn.) — 5 stars
2. Cleveland Clinic — 4 stars
3. Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston) — 4 stars
4. Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore) — no rating
available. Maryland hospitals were not eligible for an
overall rating because Medicare does not collect the
necessary data, according to Kaiser Health News
5. UCLA Medical Center (Los Angeles) — 3 stars
6. NewYork-Presbyterian University Hospital of Colum-
bia and Cornell — 4 stars
7. UCSF Medical Center (San Francisco) — 3 stars
