Hawaii hospitals: racial-equity scorecards

22 Medicare-certified

22 Medicare-certified hospitals serve Hawaii, represented by the Healthcare Association of Hawaii. This page aggregates CMS Hospital Compare measures — overall star rating, mortality / safety / readmission / patient-experience measure-group performance — for each of those facilities.

Hawaii's Black population is small enough that state-level race-stratified hospital measures are frequently cell-suppressed. The Queen's Health System runs the state's major inpatient capacity alongside Hawaii Pacific Health.

The state's recognized safety-net hospital systems — the facilities that carry a disproportionate share of Medicaid and uninsured admissions — include: The Queen's Medical Center (Honolulu), and Hawaii Pacific Health (Kapiolani, Straub, Pali Momi, Wilcox). Each has its own detail page below.

Two editorial notes on scope. First, CMS does not publish a racial-disparity scorecard per-hospital at national scale; what we surface below is the facility's overall CMS rating paired with any race-stratified metric we could find in a primary source (AHRQ Disparities Atlas, a state discharge scorecard, or a published study). Second, we do not rank hospitals as 'worst for Black patients' without a primary-source citation — the legal standard for that claim requires it.
