Women willing to go the extra mile for top patient experience

In a recent press release, Women's Choice Award provided a list of America's 100 best hospitals for patient experience. 

In today’s highly competitive hospital environment, 86% of women would travel up to 50 miles for a hospital that was rated best in patient experience, according to a national survey of 1,000 women respondents conducted by WomenCertified, Inc. To help women simplify their choices, the trusted referral source, Women’s Choice Award announced this month its list of the 2019 America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience in four bed size categories in honor of National Women’s Health Week, May 12th – 18th, 2019.

Patient experience includes several aspects of health care delivery that patients highly value when they seek and receive care, such as getting timely appointments, easy access to information, and good communication with health care providers. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, good patient experience positively correlates to disease management, adherence to treatment plans and health outcomes.

The methodology used to select America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience is unique in that it evaluates specific Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey results along with primary research about women’s healthcare preferences.
