Healthgrades on Tuesday named nearly 1,000 hospitals to its 2017 Outstanding Patient Experience Award and Patient Safety Excellence Award lists.
The awards, which the group gives out each year, are meant to highlight U.S. facilities that either excel in patient experience ratings or have low incidents of patient harm.
For the Patient Experience Award, Healthgrades awarded 443 hospitals with the distinction, using the hospitals’ Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys to gauge how highly patients rank them.
