Our Quality Data: Physician Compare
Physician Compare is a tool created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) which serves two purposes: “to provide information to help consumers make informed decisions about their health care, and to create clear incentives for physicians to perform well.” ¹ In order to do this, Physician Compare includes general information on health care professionals and group practices to help patients find providers. Once patients locate the appropriate provider, they can compare quality data from the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), Electronic Prescribing (eRx) Incentive Program, Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Program Incentive, and Million Hearts®.

what our patients are saying
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
