Your healthcare is our priority. To determine where improvements are needed, Decatur Morgan Hospital, takes part in the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. Te HCAHPS survey measures your satisfaction with the quality of your care. It is designed to be a standardized tool for measuring and reporting patient satisfaction across all hospitals in the U.S. Aſter you are released from the hospital, you may


be selected to participate in the HCAHPS survey. Te survey asks multiple choice questions about your hospital stay. Please take the time to answer the HCAHPS survey; your feedback is important!


What is HCAHPS? Te HCAHPS survey is backed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Te survey is used to improve the quality of healthcare. HCAHPS makes survey results public so hospitals are aware of where changes are needed. Te results also enable healthcare consumers to review and compare hospitals before choosing a healthcare provider.
