Patient Experience
Our team serves all Baptist Health facilities to create the best experience for our patients. Baptist Health is committed to providing quality patient-centered care that demonstrates our organization’s mission and values. Your voice matters during your experience at our facilities. By providing us with your feedback, you give us the opportunity to improve patient quality of care and overall satisfaction within our organization.
Patient Satisfaction
In addition to providing the highest quality care, we want to provide excellent service to our patients and guests. You may receive a survey called Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) after your discharge or your outpatient visit. We utilize your feedback to recognize our staff members that had the privilege of providing your care.
The survey asks questions about communication with providers, discharge planning, the hospital environment, and overall experience. Results are reported to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and are publicly available to consumers with the goal of improving quality of care. Completing the survey takes only a few minutes, and your responses are confidential unless you choose to add your name and phone number.
Your feedback is important to us to recognize high performing employees and to continue to improve. Thank you for choosing Baptist Health.
Patient Feedback
The ICU nurses explained everything to my kids while I was on the ventilator and did everything they could to help me. Informed my family of everything. They were amazing.

I just want to take a few minutes of my time to acknowledge my health visit to your hospital yesterday. I was there for a MRI. My physician or person that did this could not have been any better. They were very professional. Was very kind and showed human compassion 100%. They could not have done any better performing what they had to do. I would strongly recommend Baptist Hospital to anyone that would need anything done as long as your hospital can do it.

I want to express my experience while staying on 3B. I was so pleased with the staff. Everybody that took care of me for those four days was amazing. From Dietary to Lab. They went above and beyond. I was terrified when I went in. The infection was almost in my eye and I was scared it would go to my brain. As a mother of 3 that is a very active woman I was terrified what the outcome would be. The Nurses and CNA’s made me feel like I was going to be ok. I nominated a few for the Daisy award.
