Patient Perception Survey
We report patient perception survey data publicly available by the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS). Public data lags six months to two years behind current internal data, so West Tennessee Healthcare also chooses to report the most current corresponding internal data.
This information is the most current available from the CMS Hospital Compare Website.
