Seaford, DE – TidalHealth Nanticoke is proud to announce that it has received a prestigious 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in its recently released 2024 Hospital Quality Star Ratings. This distinguished recognition underscores the hospital’s unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care and achieving outstanding patient outcomes.
TidalHealth Nanticoke is the only hospital in Delaware to earn this top rating, highlighting its role as a leader in healthcare excellence within the state. Nationally, TidalHealth Nanticoke is one of only 381 hospitals out of approximately 3,000, representing the top 8% of hospitals across the United States, to receive the highest possible rating from CMS. The 5-star rating reflects excellence across five critical quality measures: mortality, safety, readmissions, patient experience, and timely & effective care.
“Achieving this recognition makes me incredibly proud of our TidalHealth Nanticoke team. It’s the individual clinicians working together to provide high-quality service to our patients that makes this possible. This is validation of the hard work our staff puts in every day. Being the only Delaware hospital honored in this category by CMS, and our patients, reinforces that TidalHealth Nanticoke is one of the safest and most cost-effective hospitals in the United States,” said Penny Short, President of TidalHealth Nanticoke. “This doesn’t happen without the tremendous dedication of every member of our healthcare team and our commitment to the people of Sussex County to always be our best.”
This significant achievement reflects TidalHealth Nanticoke’s excellence in various quality measures, including patient experience, safety of care, and readmission rates. The hospital’s commitment to continuous improvement and patient-centered care has been instrumental in achieving this recognition.
TidalHealth Nanticoke was also the only hospital where surveyed patients placed the performance of the team at or above the Delaware hospital average in all 10 possible patient care and satisfaction categories.
The Seaford healthcare team remains committed to serving the community of Sussex County and beyond, ensuring that every patient receives the highest standard of care. This 5-star rating from CMS is a testament to the hospital’s relentless pursuit of healthcare excellence and its mission to improve the health and well-being of the communities it serves.
“I am very proud of the work being done at TidalHealth Nanticoke in achieving this extraordinary honor, as well as supporting the highest rated healthcare system in the region” said Steve Leonard, CEO TidalHealth.
Overall CMS ratings range from one to five stars with the majority of American hospitals achieving a three-star rating. TidalHealth Peninsula Regional in Salisbury, Md. received a four-star rating in the 2024 report.
