Mayo Clinic hospitals across the organization received star ratings from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on July 31.

The ratings for overall hospital quality provide patients with information on several aspects of quality. The star ratings measure five broad categories: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care.
