What quality scores mean for patients at TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL holds a CMS overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars, based on publicly reported quality measures. This places it at #39 out of 58 hospitals in WA. Quality ratings aggregate dozens of individual measures — from nurse communication and cleanliness to surgical complication rates and timely care — into a single composite. While no single number captures the full patient experience, the star rating provides a useful starting point for understanding whether a hospital consistently meets or falls short of national performance standards.
Readmission rates are one of the strongest indicators of care quality. Hospitals with high readmission rates often face challenges in discharge planning and care coordination — issues that can also manifest in billing complexity. When a patient is readmitted, the resulting bills multiply, making accurate billing on the initial stay even more critical.
Research consistently shows a correlation between hospital operational quality and billing accuracy. Hospitals that perform well on patient safety, infection control, and care coordination tend to have more robust administrative processes, including medical coding and billing. Conversely, facilities with lower quality scores — particularly those with higher-than-average infection rates (0 measures worse than average at TRI-STATE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL) or elevated readmission ratios — often exhibit higher rates of billing discrepancies. If you have received a bill from a hospital with mixed quality indicators, a line-by-line review against regional benchmarks can identify charges that may not align with the care actually delivered.
