The following hospitals were ranked by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under three categories —heart failure, heart attack, and pneumonia. The readmission rate is based on the percentage of patients that return to the same hospital or another hospital within 30 days of being discharged and compared to a national average for the hospital’s set of patients.
