This graph was provided by Quails Health, the Quality Improvement Organization for Idaho and Washington. The Ratios are calculated from the posted Hospital Compare data which covers a three year period (currently thru June 2010). Excess readmissions ratio is >1%. Tri-State Hospitals heart failure readmission rate ranks 5th lowest of all Washington State Critical Access Hospitals.
Tri-State Memorial Hospital scores higher in all areas than both Washington State and National average.
