HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood is a proprietary-owned acute care hospitals in Kingwood, TX, reporting to CMS under the Hospital Compare and Care Compare programs. CMS gives it an overall Star Rating of 2 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. Because it reports emergency services, its patient mix and its exposure to out-of-network balance-billing under the No Surprises Act both differ from a scheduled-procedures-only facility.
On quality measures, CMS classifies each indicator as better, same, or worse than the national average. For mortality: 3 above avg, 4 same as avg. For patient safety: 4 above avg, 3 same as avg. For 30-day readmission: 8 same as avg, 1 below avg.
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.
