# Atlas Commons research objects — hospital quality surface for American Samoa (2026)

American Samoa's hospital quality data from CMS Care Compare, with each figure's epistemic status labeled so a consuming agent can weight it correctly: measured hospital/subtype/ownership counts; the CMS Overall Star Rating distribution (a model CMS computes, not a direct measurement); the atlas-computed state mean HCAHPS star and median measure comparisons (in-house aggregations CMS does not publish); and the interpretive boundary (these are state aggregates, not a verdict on any one hospital). Source: CMS Care Compare. CC0.

## Claims

### 1 hospitals are listed in American Samoa on CMS Care Compare (2026)

**RECORDED.** CMS Care Compare lists 1 hospitals in American Samoa for 2026; 0 carry an Overall Star Rating and 1 do not. A census of listed hospitals.

Source: CMS Care Compare (2026) — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from CMS Care Compare (2026); superseded when CMS Care Compare (2026) publishes its next release.

### Hospital counts by CMS facility type in American Samoa (2026): Acute Care Hospitals 1

**RECORDED.** Counts of the 1 hospitals by CMS facility type: Acute Care Hospitals 1. A count of listed facilities per CMS type.

Source: CMS Care Compare (2026) — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from CMS Care Compare (2026); superseded when CMS Care Compare (2026) publishes its next release.

### Hospital counts by ownership in American Samoa (2026): Government - Hospital District or Authority 1

**RECORDED.** Counts of the 1 hospitals by CMS ownership category: Government - Hospital District or Authority 1. A count of listed facilities per ownership type.

Source: CMS Care Compare (2026) — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from CMS Care Compare (2026); superseded when CMS Care Compare (2026) publishes its next release.

### Median American Samoa hospital's measures vs national (2026): 0 better, 0 no different, 0 worse

**DERIVED.** For the median American Samoa hospital, the count of quality measures rated better than / no different from / worse than the national rate is 0 / 0 / 0. The better/worse determination is CMS's risk-adjusted comparison (modeled); the MEDIAN across hospitals is an in-house aggregation, not a CMS-published figure.

Source: CMS Care Compare (2026) — atlas-computed state median of CMS risk-adjusted measure comparisons — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a calculation, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (a transparent in-house formula, not an authority's verdict — no external adjudicator). Reproduce it from its named inputs; falsified if the formula or inputs are wrong. Lower warrant than the adjudged figures above.

### What these care figures are — and are NOT — for American Samoa (the epistemic boundary)

**INTERPRETATION.** Every figure above is a STATE-LEVEL aggregate over CMS Care Compare: counts of listed hospitals (recorded), the distribution of CMS's MODELED Overall Star Rating (modeled), and atlas-computed state means/medians (derived). They are NOT a verdict on any individual hospital, a measure of outcomes you will personally experience, or a substitute for CMS Care Compare's per-hospital detail. For a specific hospital, use CMS Care Compare directly.

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 figures above span recorded counts, CMS modeled star ratings, and atlas-derived aggregates; the four-status labels each, and 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/states/as.jsonld`

## Data

### American Samoa — every care indicator (typed)

Each figure for this state with its four-status warrant and named source. RECORDED = an observed count; DERIVED = an in-house aggregation the atlas computed over CMS inputs (CMS does not publish it).
