Inclusion of Veterans Health Administration hospitals in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings
VHA hospitals tended to perform better on the Overall Star Rating compared to non-VHA hospitals, as evidenced by being more likely to receive a four- or five-star rating. The eligibility of VHA hospitals to receive an Overall Star Rating signifies an important addition to the program that will allow Veterans to make more informed healthcare decisions.
