Background: The overall national patient satisfaction scores have improved since the HCAHPS reporting began. However, it is unknown whether the improvement trends are different between teaching and non-teaching hospitals. Therefore, our objective was to compare long-term changes in patient satisfaction between teaching and non-teaching hospitals. Methods: We used three datasets; HCAHPS data (2008 […]

Communication about medications and appropriate transition of care are two domains of the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey via which patients evaluate hospitals. Communication about new medications and side effects is one of […]
