Tampa General Hospital is committed to providing high-quality care and sharing data about how well we follow guidelines for care. Here you will find information from reports on key quality measures that affect the patient care experience and health outcomes including patient safety indicators, surgical site infections, hospital-acquired infections, and patient satisfaction. These measures are updated as new data is collected and becomes available.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
The recent rating reflects a significant and positive increase in ranking. CMS assigns star ratings to hospitals across the country based on the performances in five quality categories. The ranking system was created to help consumers easily compare hospitals to make informed decisions about their care. In determining the overall hospital star ratings, CMS looks at performance measures across five distinct areas of patient experience. This year, CMS rated over 4,500 hospitals from one to five stars, with 988 receiving the four-star distinction.Patient Safety Indicators
The Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) are a set of measures that screen for adverse events patients experience as a result of exposure to the health care system. These events are likely amenable to prevention by changes at the system or provider level.

Hospital-Acquired Infections
Hospital-acquired infections are caused by bacteria presumed to be acquired in the hospital. Patients can be infected through catheters required for care, such as intravenous lines and bladder catheters. The most common types of hospital-acquired infections are Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI), pneumonia, including Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP), Catheter-Based Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI), and Surgical Site Infections (SSI).
