CMS expects to add the overall hospital star ratings and other quality data updates to the Hospital Compare website in April. To preview the data, see the inpatient and outpatient preview reports for the April update. Prospective payment system-exempt cancer hospitals, inpatient psychiatric facilities and ambulatory surgical centers also can preview their data for the April update through Feb. 14.
