Becker’s compiled a list of hospitals that were rated 5 stars for nurse communication in each state, according to CMS’ Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems data.

CMS shares 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported HCAHPS measures. For nurse communication, data from HCAHPS survey questions are used. These questions summarize how well patients feel that their nurses explained things clearly, listened carefully to them, and treated them with courtesy and respect. The data was collected between October 2023 and September 2024, and released on Aug. 6.

Here are the hospitals with 5-star ratings for nurse communication.
