High ratings for care and
service
Nothing means more to
us than the way people feel about the care they receive at CentraState. That’s
why we're feeling good about the lastest results from Press Ganey, the
healthcare industry’s leading evaluator of patient satisfaction. Patients ranked
CentraState Medical Center in the top 10 percent of
hospitals regionally and nationally in emergency services (99th percentile) and overall outpatient
services (91st percentile). Also scoring well were overall inpatient services
(89th percentile) and ambulatory surgery (86th percentile).
We are also pleased with findings
from the recently released Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS)—the first
national report of patients’ perceptions of their hospital experience. Our scores
for nurse and physician communication with patients and our overall rating by
patients exceed both the state and national averages, while our scores for
staff responsiveness, pain management, cleanliness, quietness and patient willingness to
recommend the hospital exceed the state average.
The HCAHPS data is another tool for measuring and refining our
ongoing quality improvement efforts. Click
here for details of the results. For more information on
the HCAHPS survey, visit the HCAHPS Web site at www.hcahpsonline.org/.
