CMS overall star ratings,
VA hospital ratings, : every VA hospital by CMS star rating
CMS lists 132 hospitals run by the Veterans Health Administration and gave 112 of them an overall star rating for . 50 have five stars and 0 have one star. The other 20 were not rated. CMS's stated reason, in its own words: "There are too few measures or measure groups reported to calculate a star rating or measure group score."

VA hospitals and all hospitals, by CMS stars
A chart of the figures in the table that follows.
| CMS stars | VA hospitals | All rated hospitals | Rated hospitals other than VA |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 stars | 50 | 384 | 334 |
| 4 stars | 37 | 946 | 909 |

Source: CMS Hospital General Information (dataset xubh-q36u), released .
A star summarizes up to five groups of measures, and CMS compares a hospital only with hospitals reporting a similar number of groups. These counts describe the ratings; they are not a ranking of VA care against other care. How the star rating works.
Five-star shares and peer groups
Of the 112 rated VA hospitals, 50 (44.6%) have five stars. Of all 3,174 rated hospitals, 384 (12.1%) do, and of the 3,062 rated hospitals other than VA, 334 (10.9%) do.
CMS compares a hospital only with hospitals that report a similar number of measure groups. In CMS's General Information file, 79 of the 112 rated VA hospitals (71%) report at least three measures in each of five groups, against 2,188 of the 3,062 rated hospitals other than VA (71%). CMS does not publish its peer-group assignment, so this is a count of those columns, not CMS's own grouping.
All VA hospitals, highest-rated first
Hospitals with the same CMS rating share a rank and are listed alphabetically; this site adds no score of its own. Select a column heading to sort. The full table is also a CSV download, public domain like the CMS data it comes from.

- CMS footnote 6: Fewer than 100 patients completed the CAHPS survey. Use these scores with caution, as the number of surveys may be too low to reliably assess facility performance.
- CMS footnote 10: Very few patients were eligible for the CAHPS survey. The scores shown reflect fewer than 50 completed surveys. Use these scores with caution, as the number of surveys may be too low to reliably assess facility performance.
The group under each ER time is the hospital's CMS emergency department volume: low, medium, high or very high. Each hospital page compares a hospital's time only with the national median for the same group.
CMS footnote 21 applies to the patient survey column: Patient survey results for Veterans Health Administration (VHA) hospitals do not represent official HCAHPS results and are not included in state and national averages.
