Values and averages are published by CMS (July 2026 release); "—" means CMS publishes no average for that measure. Where CMS assigns a risk-adjusted category ("Better than", "As" or "Worse than Expected"), that category is shown — we never rank those measures ourselves. For the other measures, "Better than X%" is computed by DialysisCompare: the share of Hawaii facilities with at least 25 patients in the measure that this center does better than; centers with fewer patients are not ranked. One measure never tells the whole story — how every figure is sourced and computed.
Questions to ask this center
Prompts for a conversation with the center or your kidney care team, generated only where CMS rates a measure "Worse than Expected", where this center is in the bottom quarter of Hawaii facilities on a measure with at least 25 patients, or where it carries a Medicare payment reduction. They are not medical advice and not a verdict on the center.
- Long-term catheter use: CMS reports 14% here (109 patients), vs 11% across Hawaii — better than only 12% of Hawaii facilities with at least 25 patients. You could ask how the center supports fistula or graft placement.
- Switches to home dialysis (ratio): CMS reports 0.00 here, vs 1.00 nationally, and rates it "Worse than Expected" after risk adjustment. You could ask whether the center trains patients for home dialysis and how to find out if it suits you.
