About Northwest Specialty Hospital
Northwest Specialty Hospital 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. The CMS Hospital Compare measures break roughly evenly between better- and worse-than-benchmark performance, which is the modal pattern across U.S. hospitals.
Average payment per documented procedure at Northwest Specialty Hospital is $18,877 — among the higher-cost facilities in the dataset. Combined cost-and-quality value comes to 52/100 — a middling result, reflecting either average quality at average cost or trade-offs in one direction.
Northwest Specialty Hospital is investor-owned — a proprietary hospital, the minority ownership pattern in U.S. acute care. For-profit hospitals are more concentrated in some regions (Florida, Texas, Nevada) than others. The CMS payment record for Northwest Specialty Hospital lists 13 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Renal Failure with CC, Nutritional and Misc Metabolic Disorders with MCC, Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis with MCC. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
