Can there be a tie score?
Yes, and there will be. Throughout the national, regional and bed size rankings, youll see the rank expressed as a fraction “1/100.” That means that your facility ranked 1st out of 100 hospital PFS departments submitting data for that period. If there were a tie for second place, the scores for those two facilities would both appear as “2/100.” The fourth hospital, however, would be listed as “4/100.” In effect, there is no “third” place ranking, as its place was taken by the two tied hospitals in second place. There may be many ties throughout the rankings depending on how the scores on the various questions were answered.
