Patient satisfaction ratings, represented by HCAHPS scores, have a direct impact on the reimbursement dollars that a hospital receives from the federal government.

The image and link below showcase a sample HCAHPS survey, along with supplemental materials, such as correspondence. The information comes courtesy of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
[Ed. Note: Don't miss the training series on value-based purchasing, including Part 1: Improving HCAHPS: Satisfying Patients - and Your Bottom Line; and Part 2: Boosting Quality Process Measures: Steps To Success for Your Hospital.]
