Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple is a voluntary non-profit - private-owned acute care hospitals in Temple, TX, reporting to CMS under the Hospital Compare and Care Compare programs. CMS gives it an overall Star Rating of 4 out of 5 -- a composite built from mortality, safety of care, readmission rates, patient experience, and timely/effective care, each benchmarked against the national average. Emergency services are part of this facility’s reported scope, a factor that shapes both case mix and No-Surprises-Act balance-billing exposure for patients treated here.
Across CMS's three benchmarked quality categories, this facility's mortality reads 1 above avg, 6 same as avg, patient safety reads 5 above avg, 2 same as avg, 1 below avg, and 30-day readmission reads 1 above avg, 10 same as avg, each measured against the national average.
What "better/same/worse than average" means
These indicators are risk-adjusted to account for patient severity and are drawn from Medicare claims data. A "same as average" result is the most common category for US hospitals and does not imply poor care; "worse than average" findings are statistically significant and warrant follow-up with the facility's quality department.
Published MRF pricing data is not currently indexed for this hospital.
