Patient Experience of Care Survey
The purpose of the survey is to gather information from patients (or their family or friends) about experiences with a home health agency. The survey asks patients about their home health care, and if they would recommend that agency to someone else. The survey tells you what other patients thought about a home health agency. The survey results also tell home health agencies where to focus their quality improvement efforts.
