Experience Measures

Experience Measures are meant to track patient satisfaction with hospital performance.  They indicate how positive or negative a patient's perception of their care is or was.

The most common example of experience measures are the HCAHPS Measures for patient satisfaction, which are part of the CMS Hospital Compare Quarterly data release.  These measures have patients rating their satisfaction with the care they received. 

The main groups of Experience Measures are:

  • Hospital Compare HCAHPS Experience Measures
  • Home Health Compare Experience Measures
  • MCO Experience Measures
