Correction: CT Hospitals Rated First To Worst: Where Does Your Medical Center Rank?

Editor’s note: The initial information compiled by Health Care Finance News incorrectly identified the ratings for several Connecticut hospitals, including Manchester Hospital. Below are the updated/corrected ratings.

Manchester Hospital was initially reported to have a 1-Star patient review but in reality the hospital received 2-Stars.

UPDATE: When it comes to hospital rankings in Connecticut the news is relatively good.

No Connecticut based hospital received a 5-star rating, which is based on patient reviews compiled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospital Compare list. But, no Connecticut based hospital earned the dreaded 1-star review either.

The time period covers patient surveys between Jan.1 and Dec. 31 of 2014, according toHealthcare Finance News. Patients receive the surveys at the end of their hospital care. The rankings are updated quarterly.
