May 16, 2024 — NCH Bonita Emergency Department proudly announces its latest accolade: being voted the best in the nation for overall quality of care by PRC, a leading national vendor specializing in measuring HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) surveys for the second year in a row.

PRC, one of America’s largest vendors for administering HCAHPS, partners with organizations to support their efforts in improving healthcare for all by becoming better places for patients to be treated.

HCAHPS (pronounced “H-caps”) is the first national, standardized, publicly reported survey of patients’ perspectives for care received at a healthcare facility or hospital. It is a survey instrument for measuring patients’ perceptions of their care experience. While many healthcare facilities have collected information on patient satisfaction for their own internal use, until HCAHPS there was no national standard for collecting and publicly reporting information about patient experience of care that allowed valid comparisons to be made across healthcare facilities locally, regionally, and nationally.

This prestigious recognition for overall quality of care underscores NCH Bonita Emergency Department’s unwavering commitment to providing unparalleled care and prioritizing patient satisfaction. Through dedicated efforts and a patient-centered approach, the department has distinguished itself as a leader in delivering exceptional healthcare services.

“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from PRC,” said Caitlin George, BSN, RN, CEN, Administrative Director of Emergency Services at NCH.  “It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team who strive tirelessly to ensure every patient receives the highest quality of care in a compassionate and welcoming environment.”

PRC’s rigorous evaluation process, which includes extensive patient feedback and assessments, highlights NCH Bonita Emergency Department’s consistent delivery of outstanding care experiences. Patients consistently praise the department for its attentive staff, efficient service, and commitment to excellence.
