Infections, complications and deaths
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services · compared with hospitals nationwide
Of the 1 hospital-acquired infection CMS could compare, Bleckley Memorial Hospital was better than the national benchmark on 1 and worse on 0.
Hospital-acquired infections
"Better" or "worse" means CMS found the difference from the national benchmark statistically significant; most hospitals are "no different". Infection results compare the infections a hospital reported with the number predicted for a hospital of its size and type (a ratio below 1 means fewer than predicted), for Oct 2024 – Sep 2025. Death and complication rates are risk-adjusted for how sick patients were. Each death rate counts deaths within 30 days of a hospital stay, pooled over one to three years of Medicare patients depending on the measure. About the data.
