HCAHPS / Patient Engagement
Improve Patient Engagement and HCAHPS Scores
Shortly after implementing the SIBRs, patient satisfaction and HCAHPS scores begin to rise for our clients. The HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey standardizes patients’ perspectives on the health care they are receiving. This is a good metric to understand what is working from another point of view, distinct from healthcare professionals. Not only do the hospital staff, nurses and doctors all benefit from 1Unit programs, but patients are pleased with the ease of communication and overall care they are provided.
Reported Outcomes
• 300% increase in family participation
• 60% decrease in patient complaints
• 75 percentile point increase for HCAHPS “rate the hospital”
• 80 percentile point increase for HCAHPS “communication with nurses”
• NPS score of 30 (considered ‘good/great’)
• Decreased reduction in ICU rounding time and interruption times

What mechanisms create these results?
By introducing the 1Unit programs, Nurses First™, SIBR rounds, and ACUs, units consistently see patient satisfaction, HCAHPS scores and family participation increase. Effective communication routines embedded into daily work flow created better connections between nurses, doctors, patients and family members. Predictability of when these processes will happen each shift enhances the opportunity for family to attend and engage.
