Μόνο 168 νοσοκομεία στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες Αμερικής βαθμολογήθηκαν με πέντε αστέρια στην τελευταία αξιολόγηση των Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Από την άλλη πλευρά, 65 νοσοκομεία πήραν μόνο ένα αστέρι.
Οι πρόσφατες αξιολογήσεις έγιναν με βάση τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας σε ασθενείς μεταξύ 1 Ιούλη του 2014 και 30 Ιουνίου του 2015. Στην αξιολόγηση συμμετείχαν περίπου 4.000 νοσοκομεία και η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία πήρε τρία με τέσσερα αστέρια.
Το θετικό είναι πως τα… πεντάστερα νοσοκομεία είναι περισσότερα σε σχέση με την αξιολόγηση που δημοσιεύτηκε τον Δεκέμβριο του 2015 (από 155 έγιναν 168).
