The correct answer is: Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems

HCAHPS stands for Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems. This standardized survey is designed to measure patients' perspectives on hospital care. It serves several important purposes in the healthcare system, such as promoting transparency by providing valuable insights into patient experiences and satisfaction levels. The survey focuses on various aspects of patient care, including communication with doctors and nurses, the responsiveness of hospital staff, cleanliness of the hospital environment, and the overall hospital experience. By collecting this data, hospitals can identify areas for improvement, enhance patient care, and inform consumers about their choices in healthcare facilities. The results of HCAHPS surveys are publicly reported, which encourages hospitals to strive for higher quality care in order to attract and retain patients.
