How do California Hospital rate ?

The California HealthCare Foundation is an independent philanthropy committed to improving California's healthcare. The foundation conducted a voluntary survey of over 200 California hospitals and more than 36,000 patients to rate their experience in eight critical areas of care:
Respect for patient preferences
Coordination of care
Information and education
Physical comfort
Emotional support
Involvement of family and friends
Safe medical practices
Transition to home

This information shows how patients felt about the overall care they received in the participating hospitals, including how well hospital staff addressed patients' fears about treatment and how well doctors and nurses explained what to expect after patients left the hospital.
