About Northwest Hospital Center
On the CMS Hospital Compare scale, Northwest Hospital Center earns 2 stars, placing it in the lower half of U.S. acute-care hospitals on the combined safety, mortality, and experience measure set. The CMS Hospital Compare measures break roughly evenly between better- and worse-than-benchmark performance, which is the modal pattern across U.S. hospitals.
Cost-wise, Northwest Hospital Center is mid-pack: $16,756 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. The composite value score of 52/100 puts Northwest Hospital Center 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 Northwest Hospital Center lists 17 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis with MCC, Vaginal Delivery without Complicating Diagnoses, Simple Pneumonia and Pleurisy with 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.
