The Patient Experience

Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) is a national, standardized survey of hospital patients. HCAHPS (pronounced "H-caps") was created to publicly report the patient’s perspective of hospital care. The survey asks a random sample of recently discharged patients about important aspects of their hospital experience. The HCAHPS results posted on Hospital Compare allow consumers to make fair and objective comparisons between hospitals and of individual hospitals to state and national benchmarks, on ten important measures of patients’ perspectives of care.
