Read in Becker’s Hospital Review which hospitals like UConn John Dempsey Hospital are leading the way across every state receiving five stars for patient recommendations.

UConn’s teaching hospital is one of just two hospitals in Connecticut named by Becker’s to be the most likely to be recommended by patients, having received five stars for patient recommendations.

Becker’s complied data from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS shares 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported HCAHPS measures.

The recommended hospital star rating is based on patients’ responses to the question, “Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?” Hospitals must have at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys in a fourth-quarter period to be eligible for a star rating.

The star ratings, released July 26 by CMS, are based on survey data collected from hospital patients from October 2021 through September 2022.
