CareChex Awards are powered by the Quantros Quality Outcomes Analytics Software. Unlike other publicly available award rankings CareChex awards are based on comprehensive risk-adjustment methodology and do not include any self-reported data.
The CareChex ratings at the national, state, and regional level are based on publicly available data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, CMS, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The CareChex awards are based on a rigorous review of patient complications, readmissions, and mortality.
