Abstract

Patient satisfaction is becoming more important throughout the healthcare industry. Many hospitals have made drastic changes in order to increase the overall satisfaction of their patients and family members. In the coming year, nursing homes are going to see patient satisfaction incorporated into their star rating system which can be seen by everyone on Medicare.gov - Nursing Home Compare. This incentivizes nursing homes to increase their overall quality and attention given to patients in order to attract individuals and contracts from third parties such as ACOs. Allowing for a standardized survey for patients to complete after their visit will allow for facilities to be benchmarked against each other and therefore increase competition. This paper will help further explain this initiative and what impact it will have on nursing facilities. This topic is relevant to public health because it directly impacts the care and treatments individuals receive, which effects their health status.
