Gastrointestinal
The Gastrointestinal service area rating is based on:
·
Gastrointestinal bleed
·
Bowel obstruction
·
Pancreatitis
·
Gastrointestinal procedures and surgeries
·
Cholecystectomy
HealthGrades first calculates the average star ratings for gastrointestinal bleed, bowel obstruction, and
pancreatitis for inhospital mortality, inhospital +1 month mortality, and inhospital +6 month mortality. The
Gastrointestinal service area rating is a weighted star average of those ratings, plus gastrointestinal
procedures and surgeries and cholecystectomy. To receive a rating in this service area, a hospital had to
have star ratings in all five medical issues.
General Surgery
The General Surgery service area rating is based on:
·
Appendectomy
·
Bowel obstruction
·
Cholecystectomy
To be included in this ranking, a hospital must have a rating in all three general surgical procedures:
appendectomy, bowel obstruction, and cholecystectomy. Inpatient data from 17 states are used to calculate
appendectomy ratings. To be ranked, a hospital must be located in one of the 17 all payer states.
Orthopedic
The Orthopedic service area rating is based on:
·
Total knee replacement
·
Total hip replacement
·
Partial hip replacement
·
Hip fracture repair
·
Back and neck surgery (except spinal fusion)
·
Back and neck surgery (spinal fusion)
The Orthopedic service area rating is a weighted star average for these medical issues, based on national
volume. To receive a rating in this service area, a hospital had to have star ratings in five of the six medical
issues.
