RUSH HELPS REVISE NEW CMS HOSPITAL STAR RATINGS: Nearly one-third of hospitals scored higher star ratings under CMS new methodology that s meant to create a clearer picture of quality and safety, according to data released Wednesday.
It s the first time CMS has applied the new methodology, and 45% of hospitals received the same star rating as before. Nearly a quarter, 22.7% of acute-care hospitals, had worse ratings.
Fourteen percent of hospitals under the new methodology received five stars, including Rush University Medical Center and Rush Oak Park Hospital. Both hospitals had 5-stars under the earlier formula, and clinicians and others from the Rush helped shape the new methodology.
Gloor also revealed other parts of the initial development phase which he estimated would come together over at least three years including 800 apartment units, a 350,000-square-foot office building and a park on the southern portion of Lincoln Yards between the river and Throop Street. Construction of a Dominick Street bridge connecting the northern and southern portions of the campus, which Sterling Bay said last year would be the first infrastructure project built at Lincoln Yards, has been pushed back to a later phase.
A Sterling Bay spokeswoman declined to comment on whether the company has lined up financing for the life sciences project, which would be built along the south side of Concord Place and the west bank of the river. But she confirmed the developer has secured capital to extend Concord and improve the riverwall to tee up the new building s construction.
