Two of Neuterra's partnering facilities have been designated as Five-Star hospitals by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Neuterra is the largest privately-held healthcare organization in the United States that specializes in developing equity partnerships with health systems, governments, hospitals and physicians.
Rothman Orthopaedic Specialty Hospital in Bensalem, Pa., and Physicians Care Surgical Hospital in Royersford, Pa., were chosen as Five-Star recipients due to their exemplary patient satisfaction scores, dedicated staff and best-in-class patient experience yielding favorable results.
Of the nearly 3,500 hospitals that were awarded a star rating from the CMS, only 207 were designated as Five-Star recipients. To constitute a hospital's rating, CMS ranks 11 categories from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, a survey ranking numerous sets of hospital criteria based off patients' perceptions of their hospital experience.
The results were compiled from the reporting period of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 of 2014 and assessed every aspect of patient experience. Additionally, a hospital must have at least 100 completed surveys in the designated four-quarter period and must be eligible for public reporting of HCAHPS measures in order to receive the Five-Star designation.
