Here is a list of the 62 hospitals where 90 percent or more of patients reported that their nurse "always" communicated well in the HCAHPS survey.
Note: The list is based on HCAHPS survey results reported in CMS' Hospital Compare database and covers the period of October 2012 through September 2013. Some hospitals were excluded from the list due to insufficient data, such as having fewer than 100 patients complete the survey. When hospitals have the same percentages, they are listed in order of provider ID number rather than alphabetically.
