About hospitals in Washington

Hospitals provide inpatient medical and surgical care, emergency services, and diagnostic care. Medicare-certified hospitals receive CMS star ratings that summarize mortality, safety, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care.

Start by comparing CMS Five-Star ratings, which summarize health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. A high overall rating is a useful signal, but read the underlying inspection findings and staffing figures too - they show what is behind the score.

If you are choosing for yourself or a family member in Washington, DC, visit in person when possible, ask about current availability, and confirm participation in Medicare and Medicaid. Ask how the provider handles care planning, family communication, and after-hours concerns.
