I have no faith in this bogus rating system. It is not accurate. This is simply something that hospitals pay for in order to get a good rating when they can’t get it from JACHO or others. There is no perfect rating system except for patient testimonials that should not be reported to the hospital but on an independent forum. I find rating systems do not parallel with reality.
