★★☆☆☆ 2/5
CMS rates dialysis facilities on a curve: roughly the top 10% get five stars and the bottom 10% get one, so a three-star facility is average, not poor.
| Outcome | Category | |
|---|---|---|
| Survival | As Expected | vs national expectation |
| Hospitalization | As Expected | vs national expectation |
| Readmission | As Expected | vs national expectation |
| Infection (SIR) | As Expected | vs national expectation |
| Arteriovenous fistula use | As Expected | vs national expectation |
| Modality switch | As Expected | vs national expectation |
Each category is risk-adjusted: CMS compares this facility against what would be expected given its patients' characteristics. "As Expected" is the most common result.
