But if you ask them how satisfied they were with their stay, they re likely to mention the things that can affect your HCAHP scores, like the noise level, the cleanliness of the things in the room, and their experience with the television. Good experiences with all these little things can lead to a positive overall experience, and maybe even higher patient satisfaction scores for your hospital.
