The impact of response rate on Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System (HCAHPS) dimension scores
Patient experience measurement is receiving considerable attention from hospital executives, healthcare leaders, purchasers such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and patients. It is therefore appropriate and necessary to examine the methods of survey administration, and the a...
