The Hospital Compare program includes a scheme whereby recently discharged patients are asked to complete a standardized patient survey called the HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey. The survey asks questions that can help determine the level of care that patients received at the Medicare certified hospital that they were treated in. The information is then published for the general population.
