The rating reflects measurable underperformance on the composite of mortality, safety, and patient-experience measures. The CMS Hospital Compare measures break roughly evenly between better- and worse-than-benchmark performance, which is the modal pattern across U.S. hospitals.

On payment metrics, Carle Health Methodist Hospital runs expensive: average Medicare payment across documented procedures is $22,210, in the upper bracket of U.S. hospitals.

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.
