# Atlas Commons research objects — hospital quality for DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL

DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL (PUTNAM, CT) from CMS Care Compare, with each figure's status labeled: the CMS overall + HCAHPS star ratings are composites CMS computes (modeled, not direct measurements); the better/worse/no-different-than-national measure counts are CMS's published comparisons (recorded); the boundary note is context — CMS data, not a recommendation for your condition.

## Claims

### CMS gives DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL an overall hospital rating of 2 of 5 stars

**MODELED.** CMS rates DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL (PUTNAM, CT) at 2 of 5 stars overall. The CMS Overall Hospital Star Rating is a composite CMS COMPUTES from dozens of measures across mortality, safety, readmission, patient experience, and timely/effective care — an authority's model, NOT a single measured fact, and not a guarantee of any individual outcome.

Source: CMS Care Compare (Hospital) — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE: a MODELED figure — an authority's computed quantity ESTIMATING an independent/latent value (an index or annualized expectation), REPRODUCIBLE from its disclosed inputs, NOT a record of an event. adjudged=TRUE because CMS Care Compare (Hospital) (an external authority) computes and publishes it. The grounding promises "reproduce this from the inputs" — so a categorical authority VERDICT that is NOT reproducible (a star rating, a risk class) is a 'determination', not 'modeled'. Superseded by the next release.

### DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL has an average HCAHPS patient-experience rating of 2.6 of 5 stars

**MODELED.** Across the HCAHPS patient-experience survey domains, DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL averages 2.6 of 5 stars — how patients rated their care. A survey-based composite (modeled), not a clinical-outcome measurement.

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE: a MODELED figure — an authority's computed quantity ESTIMATING an independent/latent value (an index or annualized expectation), REPRODUCIBLE from its disclosed inputs, NOT a record of an event. adjudged=TRUE because CMS Care Compare (Hospital) (an external authority) computes and publishes it. The grounding promises "reproduce this from the inputs" — so a categorical authority VERDICT that is NOT reproducible (a star rating, a risk class) is a 'determination', not 'modeled'. Superseded by the next release.

### Of 12 comparable measures, DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL is better than the national average on 0, worse on 0, no different on 12

**RECORDED.** On the quality measures with a national comparison, CMS records DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL as performing BETTER than the national average on 0, WORSE on 0, and NO DIFFERENT on 12 (of 124 measures reported in total; the remainder have no national comparison or too little data). These are CMS's published per-measure comparisons (recorded). "No different" is the most common result and is not a negative signal.

Source: CMS Care Compare (Hospital) — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from CMS Care Compare (Hospital); superseded when CMS Care Compare (Hospital) publishes its next release.

### What this is — and is NOT — for DAY KIMBALL HOSPITAL (the epistemic boundary)

**INTERPRETATION.** Every figure here is published CMS Care Compare data, the same facts CMS shows the public. The star ratings are CMS's MODEL; the measure-vs-national counts are CMS's RECORDED comparisons. This page INFORMS and COMPARES — it does NOT tell you which hospital is right for YOUR specific condition or procedure (that is for you and your clinician), and a star rating is not a guarantee of your outcome. For a specific procedure, ask about that hospital's volume and results. Verify everything at medicare.gov/care-compare.

Source: Care Atlas framing (over the CMS Care Compare facts above) — https://care-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not a CMS verdict) — the lowest-warrant claim here. The CMS star ratings (modeled) and the measure-vs-national counts (recorded) above are CMS's own; this is the only interpretation.

Every claim above carries a four-status warrant (RECORDED / MODELED / DERIVED / INTERPRETATION) and a named source you can re-fetch — this is a research object, not a flat fact. Structured: `https://care-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/care/hospitals/070003.jsonld`
