Press Ganey has honored 20 physician-owned hospitals with its 2011 Summit Award, an award given to hospitals ranked in the 95th percentile for patient satisfaction for three consecutive years, according a news release by Physician Hospitals of America, the trade group representing physician-owned hospitals.
Of the 37 U.S. hospitals awarded the Inpatient Satisfaction Summit Award, 16 were physician-owned hospitals.
"Almost 45 percent of these awards on patient satisfaction go to physician-owned hospitals even though they make up less than five percent of all hospitals nationwide," said John Richardson, executive director of Physician Hospitals of America.
