Patient Experience
Ensuring extraordinary care
Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) is a nationally standardized patient survey based on their experience with a hospital. The uniformity of the ten questions yields comparable results for all hospitals throughout the country. Additional information on the survey can be found at www.hcahpsonline.org.
Delivering an outstanding level of care means that our staff at every level must go above and beyond our patients’ expectations. We must treat our patients compassionately and with the respect they deserve. As Louisiana’s first Nurse Magnet accredited facility, the patient and their family continue to be at the center of our efforts.
