HCAHPS SURVEY The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey is backed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and is used to improve the quality of healthcare nationwide. These results are made available to the public for maximum transparency and to make hospitals aware of where changes are needed. The results also enable individuals to review and compare hospitals before choosing a healthcare provider. After your stay with us is complete, you may receive this survey in the mail, over the phone or by email. We encourage you to fill out the HCAHPS survey honestly. Scheurer Health takes great pride in the services available to the Thumb and use this survey information to constantly improve.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or seek confirmation to what was just said, so that we can understand your treatment plan together. Communication about your treatment, medications and everything else associated with your care is essential to a successful recovery.
