At least 87 percent of patients at the hospitals responded that “nurses always communicated well.”

The figures are from CMS’ Hospital Compare website and represent data released Jan. 26, 2022, and based on data from July 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021 — three quarters rather than the customary four quarters. CMS says users should interpret the data with caution, “as they are based on fewer months of data, fewer discharged patients, and fewer hospitals than normal.”

Note: Hospitals with fewer than 100 completed surveys were excluded from this list.
