|---|---|---|
| Appropriate follow-up colonoscopy | 67% | Below the national median (97%) Compared with the national median |
| Blood clot prevention Patients who received treatment to prevent blood clots on the day they arrived or the day after. Clots in the legs or lungs are a common and largely preventable hospital complication. | 86% | About the national median Compared with the national median |
| Blood clot prevention in the ICU | 99% | About the national median Compared with the national median |
| ER time — psychiatric patients Median ER minutes for patients with a mental health or substance use crisis. Often far longer than other patients because inpatient psychiatric beds are scarce. | 244 min | About the national median Compared with the national median |
| ER visit length — all patients Median minutes from arriving at the ER to leaving, counting every patient — including mental health visits and transfers to another hospital. | 171 min | Below the national median (154 min) Compared with the national median |
| ER visit length — typical patient Median minutes from arriving at the ER to leaving, excluding mental health visits and transfers. This is the number most people mean by "ER wait time". | 168 min | Below the national median (148 min) Compared with the national median |
| Emergency department volume How busy the ER is overall. Not a quality score — but a very high-volume ER often means longer waits for less urgent problems. | Very high | No national comparison available |
| Heart attack — transferred for emergency treatment Patients with the most serious kind of heart attack (STEMI) who were moved to a hospital able to reopen the artery. Mostly reported by smaller hospitals without a cath lab. | 0% | Below the national median (53%) Compared with the national median |
| Left the ER without being seen Share of patients who gave up waiting and left before a clinician saw them. A practical signal of how crowded the ER runs. | 0% | Better than the national median (1%) Compared with the national median |

| Septic shock — 6-hour bundle | 80% | Below the national median (88%) Compared with the national median |

Cost to Medicare
Medicare spending per patient: 1.08
What Medicare spent on an average patient here compared with the national average: 1.00 is exactly average, 0.94 is 6% less. This reflects cost to Medicare, not your out-of-pocket bill, and lower spending does not by itself mean better or worse care. This does not predict your own bill — what you pay depends on your insurance, your condition and the price the hospital negotiated with your plan. Ask the hospital's billing office for an estimate before a planned procedure.
