Promoting respite and sleep impacts a patient's health and their inpatient experience. As New York State's largest health system, Northwell Health has been on a journey to create a healing and therapeutic healthcare environment. By establishing leadership accountability, leveraging patient feedback and adopting evidence-based interventions, system and individual adult inpatient hospital improvements have been noted. Between 2017 and 2020, Northwell's overall system HCAHPS "Quiet at Night" Top Box performance increased by 4.7, improving 30 percentile rank points when compared to the Press Ganey national database. This case study outlines Northwell's pragmatic patient-centered strategy and examines the unanticipated impact of limited visitation due to COVID-19 on this HCAHPS measure.

Inpatient Care Experiences Differ for VA and Non-VA Hospitals, With Different Patterns by Health, Race, and Ethnicity.
Med Care Res Rev
December 2024
RAND, Santa Monica, CA, USA.
This article estimates differences and difference-in-differences in patient experiences for Veterans Health Administration (VA) compared to non-VA patients in 2017, when there was concern about the health quality of VA hospitals, and in 2021, the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, both overall, and for specific patient groups. We used data from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. In 2017, HCAHPS performance was somewhat better for non-VA than for VA hospitals, with Care Transition being the only measure for which VA hospitals performed better on average.

Research shows how vital sleep is to total health, with poor sleep having a strong correlation with morbidity and mortality, yet fewer than half of top hospitals have sleep-friendly practices. This article describes a project motivated by the lived experiences of a nurse manager and a hospitalist who partnered to improve the sleep environments on two inpatient units. They used design thinking, empathizing with the patients' experiences with the sleep environment, to design interventions to promote quality sleep.

Introduction: As a result of the success of Maryland's full risk capitated payment model experiment (Global Budget Revenue) in constraining healthcare costs, there is momentum for expanding the reach of such models. However, as these models are implemented, studies analyzing their long-term effects suggest unintended spillover effects that may ultimately influence patient experiences. The aim of this study was to determine whether implementation of the GBR was associated with changes in patient experience.

Background: HCAHPS' 2008 initial public reporting, 2012 inclusion in the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program (HVBP), and 2015 inclusion in Hospital Star Ratings were intended to improve patient experiences.
Objectives: Characterize pre-COVID-19 (2008-2019) trends in hospital consumer assessment of healthcare providers and systems (HCAHPS) scores.
Research Design: Describe HCAHPS score trends overall, by phase: (1) initial public reporting period (2008-2013), (2) first 2 years of HVBP (2013-2015), and (3) initial HCAHPS Star Ratings reporting (2015-2019); and by hospital characteristics (HCAHPS decile, ownership, size, teaching affiliation, and urban/rural).
Interventions and Hospital Characteristics Associated With Patient Experience: An Update of the Evidence.

RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, CA, USA.
Patient experience is a key hospital quality measure. We review and characterize the literature on interventions, care and management processes, and structural characteristics associated with better inpatient experiences as measured by the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. Prior reviews identified several promising interventions.
