Becker's has compiled a list of the hospitals patients would recommend in each state using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems data from CMS.
CMS created 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on publicly reported HCAHPS measures. The patient recommendation star rating combines data from three HCAHPS survey questions and summarizes how well patients feel that their physicians explained things clearly, listened carefully to them, and treated them with courtesy and respect.
The star rating is based on survey data collected from hospital patients between October 2022 and September 2023. The figures are from CMS' Provider Data Catalog and were released July 31.
Here are the hospitals that received 5-star ratings for patient recommendations:
