Rhode Island hospitals: racial-equity scorecards

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

Lifespan (Rhode Island Hospital + The Miriam Hospital) and Care New England (Women & Infants) carry most statewide admissions. Women & Infants is the region's primary perinatal referral site.

The state's recognized safety-net hospital systems — the facilities that carry a disproportionate share of Medicaid and uninsured admissions — include: Rhode Island Hospital (Lifespan, Providence), and The Miriam Hospital (Lifespan). 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.
