HCAHPS: Evaluation on Patient Satisfaction

Today, hospitals and other healthcare organizations are “concerned with protecting consumer rights and are actively engaged in assessing patient satisfaction as a strategy to improve quality, enhance market share, and meet regulatory and/or accreditation requirements” (Yoder-Wise, 2014, p 440). The Hospital Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) is a survey that reflects patients’ quality of care based on their experience during a hospital admission (Berkowitz, 2016). In a face-to face interview with Supervisor of Guest Realtions, C. Morales, at …show more content…

C. Morales mentions, “cleanliness of the hospital environment, quietness within the hospital, and transition of care are also mentioned during the survey” (personal communication, 2018).

Instead, the question is communication-based. It’ll ask if the nurse communicated to the patient about a pain scale and pain regimen that can be used to make their pain tolerable/manageable” (personal communication,
