Patient Satisfaction Is Important To Us
WCCH is accredited by The Joint Commission. Our goal is to provide our community with safe, high- quality health services with an emphasis on wellness and health promotion. It is through our ongoing performance improvement process that we continuously evaluate and improve the safety and quality
of care we provide. We care about your stay and we want to hear from you:
• Are you getting the care you need?
• Are your doctors and nurses addressing your questions and requests?
• How can we improve?
Please talk with your nurse or case manager about any questions or issues you may have, or dial 1234 from your bedside phone.
What is HCAHPS?
Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers & Systems is
a survey that measures patients’ thoughts about their hospital experience. It asks questions based on communication, responsiveness, cleanliness, quietness, pain management, communication about medicines, discharge information and overall hospital rating.
After you leave
the hospital, you
may receive an HCAHPS
patient survey by mail.
Please take the survey, mail it back and help us enhance the quality of services for future patients and visitors!
Hospital Compare
is a government website that lets consumers compare the quality of hospital care across the country. The site is managed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. For more information, visit medicare.gov/hospitalcompare.
The Joint
Commission
develops and administers voluntary accreditation programs outlining performance standards for hospitals and other healthcare organizations. To see reports for all accredited organizations, visit qualitycheck.org.
