Adventist Health Tulare

Adventist Health Tulare does not carry an overall CMS Hospital Compare star rating — typically because the hospital is too small, too specialized, or reports too few of the underlying measures to compute the composite. Outcome measures are mixed: 0 mortality, 0 safety, and 0 readmission measures rate better than benchmark; 0 mortality, 0 safety, and 0 rate worse. The composite outcome score is 50/100.

On payment metrics, Adventist Health Tulare runs expensive: average Medicare payment across documented procedures is $19,973, in the upper bracket of U.S. hospitals. The composite value score of 50/100 puts Adventist Health Tulare in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.

Ownership is non-profit, the dominant pattern in U.S. acute care. Non-profit hospitals generally reinvest operating margins rather than distribute them; the federal CMS measure set treats them identically to other ownership categories for reporting purposes. The CMS payment record for Adventist Health Tulare lists 18 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement, Intracranial Hemorrhage or Cerebral Infarction with MCC, Signs and Symptoms without MCC. Emergency services are available, which is the norm for acute-care hospitals and a meaningful factor for any patient choosing a facility for unplanned care.
