CMS overall star rating: this provider 2/5; median among 41 providers with a published value in the same state and provider category: 4/5.

CareRecords calculates this unweighted median from the loaded source snapshot. Providers with missing values are excluded. It is a descriptive reference, not a new quality rating or recommendation. Individual reporting periods may differ; do not compare different rating systems.

Questions to take to Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital

  • CMS lists SFF Candidate. Ask for the latest inspection and current designation; historical list status is not a statement about conditions today.
  • The published staff-turnover figure is 9.5%. Ask which reporting period it covers and how the current staffing team compares.
  • Ask who is responsible for care decisions locally and at HAWAII HEALTH SYSTEMS CORPORATION. A shared affiliation does not establish identical care at every location.
  • Check the source date and the latest official record before deciding. Bring the issues above to a visit or call rather than treating the profile as a recommendation.
