In any line of business, quality assurance is necessary. As the needs and standards of
operations, medical protocol, or even community necessities demand, healthcare organizations
must remain current in meeting these demands all while maintaining quality assurance. In
healthcare, quality is of great importance. The lack of quality can have damaging effects on
various stakeholders. For a facility lack of quality can result in a lack of trust and tarnish a
reputation. In patients, a lack of quality can result in a life-or-death situation.
In efforts to gauge how well healthcare organizations are meeting, exceeding, and in
some instances deficient, quality measures are used to identify standards. Quality measures
provide a realistic view of progression, stagnancy, and leanness. By taking the appropriate steps
in quality assurance organizations can assure they are operating at peak performance which has
benefits beyond measure.

Surveys are a data collection method that evaluates collected data based on individual
experiences and approaches. By collecting and analyzing data from the surveys, hospitals have a
better understanding of their patient’s thoughts on the care they have received while in the
facility. Patients have the ability to provide information not only based on the patient care with a
healthcare professional but with all hospital staff, they have come in contact with.
In addition to patient surveys governed by hospital leadership teams, CMS has their
assessment which is the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems
(HCAHPS). The assessment is oftentimes also referred to as the CAHPS survey. The HCAHPS
