Ratings and program results are as CMS lists them on the date shown and CMS refreshes them on its own schedule. The CMS files are joined on the CMS Certification Number. CMS gives each owner organization an ID, and an owner page groups hospitals on that ID. Names of individual owners and managers are not shown.
