Here is a list of 51 hospitals with the highest percentage of patients who reported "yes, they would definitely recommend the hospital" in the HCAHPS survey.
Note: The list is based on HCAHPS survey results reported in CMS' Hospital Compare database and covers the period October 2011 through September 2012. Some hospitals were excluded from this list due to insufficient data, such as having fewer than 100 patients complete the HCAHPS survey.
