Missing measures are not poor results
CMS suppresses a measure when too few cases were reported for the result to be reliable — common for smaller hospitals. A blank means not reported, which is different from a poor result. Hospitals with more blanks are not necessarily worse.
This is not medical advice
These are historical, aggregate measures about an institution. They do not describe the care any individual will receive, and they cannot account for your condition.
Talk to a clinician about your own care. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
