The patient experience of hospitalization section provides information about what patients who used the hospital say about their experience. The information in this section utilizes the  HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) a national, standardized survey of hospital patients. HCAHPS (pronounced "H-caps") was created to publicly report the patient’s perspective of hospital care. The survey asks a random sample of recently discharged patients about important aspects of their hospital experience. The results are publically reported on Medicarecomare.gov.
