A total of 251 hospitals received the highest score on the new five-star rating system for patient satisfaction that CMS announced recently.

In addition to the 251 five-star hospitals, there were 101 hospitals that received the lowest one-star ranking. Another 582 received two stars; 1,414 received three stars; and 1,205 received four stars.
