Which Connecticut Hospital Ranked Well Nationally?

Each year the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid updates it’s ranking of hospitals throughout the nation and most recently the group put out rankings that were based on data compiled as recently as 2019 (before the pandemic began.)  A number of Connecticut hospitals ranked well in the report.

The report looks at five different categories with a total of 48 criteria in each category and assigns each hospital a star value for each criteria.  The categories include;

• Mortality
• Safety
• Readmission Rates
• Patient Experience
• Timely and Effective Care

Out of a possible five stars there were 13 hospitals in Connecticut that ranked with a 4 star rating or higher.  The hospitals included;

5-Star Rated Hospitals In Connecticut

• Stamford Hospital
• Sharon Hospital
• Greenwich Hospital
• Day Kimball Hospital

4-Star Rated Hospitals In Connecticut

• Bristol Hospital
• Griffin Hospital
• Middlesex Hospital
• Mid-State Medical Center
• St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center
• The Hospital of Central Connecticut
• William W. Backus Hospital
• Windham Community Memorial Hospital
• Yale-New Haven Hospital

While a four or five star rating does not indicate that these hospitals did not have issues, they indicate that they are in the top-tier of hospitals locally and nationally.  It is important, no matter how highly a hospital is rated, that you protect yourself against possible Connecticut medical malpractice by being a self-advocate and asking good questions along the way if you are hospitalized for any reason.

If you are ever hospitalized and believe you were injured as a result of a deviation from the standard of care, contact our office and our doctor/attorney and nurse/attorney will review your case.
