HCAHPS Hospital Ratings Survey

Patient Experience Ratings 2018-2020

By Health [source]

About this dataset

This dataset contains ratings of hospitals, based on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS). This survey collects data from hospital patients on their experiences during an inpatient stay. The list includes several indicators to help gauge a hospital's quality, such as star ratings based on patient opinions and percentage of positive answers to HCAHPS questions. Additionally, there are measures such as the number of completed surveys, survey response rate percent and linear mean value which assist in evaluating patient experience at each medical institution. With this comprehensive dataset you can easily draw comparisons between hospitals and make informed decisions about healthcare services provided in your area

How to use the dataset

This dataset provides useful information on the quality of care that hospitals provide. This dataset provides ratings and reviews of several hospitals, making it easy to compare hospitals in order to find out which hospital may best meet your needs.

The following guide will walk you through how to use this dataset effectively:

• Navigate the different columns available in this dataset by scrolling through the table. These include Hospital Name, Address, City, State, ZIP Code, County Name, Phone Number and HCAHPS Question among others.
• Examine important information such as the patient survey star rating and HCAHPS linear mean value for each hospital included in the dataset in order to evaluate it's performance against other hospitals based on standards set out by HCAHPS .
• Read any footnotes associated with each column carefully in order to fully understand what exactly is being measured. These may directly affect your evaluation of a particular hospital’s performance compared to others included in this dataset or even more so when compared against external sources of data outside this dataset such as other surveys or studies related to health care quality measurement metrics within that state or region where applicable & relevant (i..e Measure Start Date and Measure End Date).

• Pay careful attention also when evaluating factors related to survey response rates (e..g Survey Response Rate Percent Footnote) & what percentages are being reported here within each category; these figures may selectively bias results so ensure full transparency is achieved by reviewing all potential influencing factors/variables prior commencing investigations/data analysis/interpretation based upon this data-set alone(or any subset thereof).

  By following these steps you should be able set up your own criteria for measuring various aspects of health care quality across different states & cities - ensuring optimal access & safety measures for both patients & healthcare providers alike over time - thus ultimately aiding decision making processes towards improved patient outcomes worldwide!

Research Ideas

• Tracking patient experience trends over time: This dataset can be used to analyze trends in patient experience over time by identifying changes in survey responses, star ratings, and response rates across hospitals.
• Establishing a benchmark for high-quality hospital care: By studying the scores of the top-performing hospitals within each category, healthcare administrators can set standards and benchmarks for quality of care in their own hospitals.
• Comparing hospital ratings to inform decision making: Patients and family members looking to book an appointment at a hospital or doctors office can use this dataset to compare different facilities’ HCAHPS scores and make an informed decision about where they would like to go for their medical treatment

Abstract

Different countries have different health outcomes that are in part due to the way respective health systems perform. Regardless of the type of health system, individuals will have health and non-health expectations in terms of how the institution responds to their needs. In many countries, however, health systems do not perform effectively and this is in part due to lack of information on health system performance, and on the different service providers.

The aim of the WHO World Health Survey is to provide empirical data to the national health information systems so that there is a better monitoring of health of the people, responsiveness of health systems and measurement of health-related parameters.

The overall aims of the survey is to examine the way populations report their health, understand how people value health states, measure the performance of health systems in relation to responsiveness and gather information on modes and extents of payment for health encounters through a nationally representative population based community survey. In addition, it addresses various areas such as health care expenditures, adult mortality, birth history, various risk factors, assessment of main chronic health conditions and the coverage of health interventions, in specific additional modules.

The objectives of the survey programme are to: 1. develop a means of providing valid, reliable and comparable information, at low cost, to supplement the information provided by routine health information systems. 2. build the evidence base necessary for policy-makers to monitor if health systems are achieving the desired goals, and to assess if additional investment in health is achieving the desired outcomes. 3. provide policy-makers with the evidence they need to adjust their policies, strategies and programmes as necessary.

Geographic coverage

The survey sampling frame must cover 100% of the country's eligible population, meaning that the entire national territory must be included. This does not mean that every province or territory need be represented in the survey sample but, rather, that all must have a chance (known probability) of being included in the survey sample.

There may be exceptional circumstances that preclude 100% national coverage. Certain areas in certain countries may be impossible to include due to reasons such as accessibility or conflict. All such exceptions must be discussed with WHO sampling experts. If any region must be excluded, it must constitute a coherent area, such as a particular province or region. For example if ¾ of region D in country X is not accessible due to war, the entire region D will be excluded from analysis.

Analysis unit

Households and individuals

Universe

The WHS will include all male and female adults (18 years of age and older) who are not out of the country during the survey period. It should be noted that this includes the population who may be institutionalized for health reasons at the time of the survey: all persons who would have fit the definition of household member at the time of their institutionalisation are included in the eligible population.

If the randomly selected individual is institutionalized short-term (e.g. a 3-day stay at a hospital) the interviewer must return to the household when the individual will have come back to interview him/her. If the randomly selected individual is institutionalized long term (e.g. has been in a nursing home the last 8 years), the interviewer must travel to that institution to interview him/her.

The target population includes any adult, male or female age 18 or over living in private households. Populations in group quarters, on military reservations, or in other non-household living arrangements will not be eligible for the study. People who are in an institution due to a health condition (such as a hospital, hospice, nursing home, home for the aged, etc.) at the time of the visit to the household are interviewed either in the institution or upon their return to their household if this is within a period of two weeks from the first visit to the household.

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

SAMPLING GUIDELINES FOR WHS

Surveys in the WHS program must employ a probability sampling design. This means that every single individual in the sampling frame has a known and non-zero chance of being selected into the survey sample. While a Single Stage Random Sample is ideal if feasible, it is recognized that most sites will carry out Multi-stage Cluster Sampling.

The WHS sampling frame should cover 100% of the eligible population in the surveyed country. This means that every eligible person in the country has a chance of being included in the survey sample. It also means that particular ethnic groups or geographical areas may not be excluded from the sampling frame.

The sample size of the WHS in each country is 5000 persons (exceptions considered on a by-country basis). An adequate number of persons must be drawn from the sampling frame to account for an estimated amount of non-response (refusal to participate, empty houses etc.). The highest estimate of potential non-response and empty households should be used to ensure that the desired sample size is reached at the end of the survey period. This is very important because if, at the end of data collection, the required sample size of 5000 has not been reached additional persons must be selected randomly into the survey sample from the sampling frame. This is both costly and technically complicated (if this situation is to occur, consult WHO sampling experts for assistance), and best avoided by proper planning before data collection begins.

All steps of sampling, including justification for stratification, cluster sizes, probabilities of selection, weights at each stage of selection, and the computer program used for randomization must be communicated to WHO

STRATIFICATION

Stratification is the process by which the population is divided into subgroups. Sampling will then be conducted separately in each subgroup. Strata or subgroups are chosen because evidence is available that they are related to the outcome (e.g. health, responsiveness, mortality, coverage etc.). The strata chosen will vary by country and reflect local conditions. Some examples of factors that can be stratified on are geography (e.g. North, Central, South), level of urbanization (e.g. urban, rural), socio-economic zones, provinces (especially if health administration is primarily under the jurisdiction of provincial authorities), or presence of health facility in area. Strata to be used must be identified by each country and the reasons for selection explicitly justified.

Stratification is strongly recommended at the first stage of sampling. Once the strata have been chosen and justified, all stages of selection will be conducted separately in each stratum. We recommend stratifying on 3-5 factors. It is optimum to have half as many strata (note the difference between stratifying variables, which may be such variables as gender, socio-economic status, province/region etc. and strata, which are the combination of variable categories, for example Male, High socio-economic status, Xingtao Province would be a stratum).

Strata should be as homogenous as possible within and as heterogeneous as possible between. This means that strata should be formulated in such a way that individuals belonging to a stratum should be as similar to each other with respect to key variables as possible and as different as possible from individuals belonging to a different stratum. This maximises the efficiency of stratification in reducing sampling variance.

MULTI-STAGE CLUSTER SELECTION

A cluster is a naturally occurring unit or grouping within the population (e.g. enumeration areas, cities, universities, provinces, hospitals etc.); it is a unit for which the administrative level has clear, nonoverlapping boundaries. Cluster sampling is useful because it avoids having to compile exhaustive lists of every single person in the population. Clusters should be as heterogeneous as possible within and as homogenous as possible between (note that this is the opposite criterion as that for strata). Clusters should be as small as possible (i.e. large administrative units such as Provinces or States are not good clusters) but not so small as to be homogenous.

In cluster sampling, a number of clusters are randomly selected from a list of clusters. Then, either all members of the chosen cluster or a random selection from among them are included in the sample. Multistage sampling is an extension of cluster sampling where a hierarchy of clusters are chosen going from larger to smaller.

In order to carry out multi-stage sampling, one needs to know only the population sizes of the sampling units. For the smallest sampling unit above the elementary unit however, a complete list of all elementary units (households) is needed; in order to be able to randomly select among all households in the TSU, a list of all those households is required. This information may be available from the most recent population census. If the last census was >3 years ago or the information furnished by it was of poor quality or unreliable, the survey staff will have the task of enumerating all households in the smallest randomly selected sampling unit. It is very important to budget for this step if it is necessary and ensure that all households are properly enumerated in order that a representative sample is obtained.

It is always best to have as many clusters in the PSU as possible. The reason for this is that the fewer the number of respondents in each PSU, the lower will be the clustering effect which

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains information about the performance of Veterans Health Administration hospitals on timely and effective care measures. In this dataset, you can find the hospital name, address, city, state, ZIP code, county name, phone number associated with each hospital as well as data related to the timely and effective care measure such as conditions being measured and their associated scores.

To use this dataset effectively, we recommend first focusing on identifying an area of interest for analysis. For example: what condition is most impacting wait times for patients? Once that has been identified you can narrow down which fields would best fit your needs - for example if you are studying wait times then “Score” may be more valuable to filter than Footnote. Additionally consider using aggregation functions over certain fields (like average score over time) in order to get a better understanding of overall performance by factor--for instance Location.

Ultimately this dataset provides a snapshot into how Veteran's Health Administration hospitals are performing on timely and effective care measures so any research should focus around that aspect of healthcare delivery

Research Ideas

• Analyzing and predicting hospital performance on a regional level to improve the quality of healthcare for veterans across the country.
• Using this dataset to identify trends and develop strategies for hospitals that consistently score low on timely and effective care measures, with the goal of improving patient outcomes.
• Comparison analysis between different VHA hospitals to discover patterns and best practices in providing effective care so they can be shared with other hospitals in the system

IntroductionIn confronting the sudden COVID-19 epidemic, China and other countries have been under great pressure to block virus transmission and reduce fatalities. Converting large-scale public venues into makeshift hospitals is a popular response. This addresses the outbreak and can maintain smooth operation of a country or region's healthcare system during a pandemic. However, large makeshift hospitals, such as the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) makeshift hospital, which was one of the largest makeshift hospitals in the world, face two major problems: Effective and precise transfer of patients and heterogeneity of the medical care teams.MethodsTo solve these problems, this study presents the medical practices of the SNIEC makeshift hospital in Shanghai, China. The experiences include constructing two groups, developing a medical management protocol, implementing a multi-dimensional management mode to screen patients, transferring them effectively, and achieving homogeneous quality of medical care. To evaluate the medical practice performance of the SNIEC makeshift hospital, 41,941 infected patients were retrospectively reviewed from March 31 to May 23, 2022. Multivariate logistic regression method and a tree-augmented naive (TAN) Bayesian network mode were used.ResultsWe identified that the three most important variables were chronic disease, age, and type of cabin, with importance values of 0.63, 0.15, and 0.11, respectively. The constructed TAN Bayesian network model had good predictive values; the overall correct rates of the model-training dataset partition and test dataset partition were 99.19 and 99.05%, respectively, and the respective values for the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.939 and 0.957.ConclusionThe medical practice in the SNIEC makeshift hospital was implemented well, had good medical care performance, and could be copied worldwide as a practical intervention to fight the epidemic in China and other developing countries.

DISCLAIMER

Context

Last updated: April 26th 2020 Updates: April 14th 2020 - Added missing population data April 15th 2020 - Added Brazil statewise ICU hospital beds dataset April 21th 2020 - Added Italy, Spain statewise ICU hospital beds dataset, India statewise TOTAL hospital beds dataset April 26th 2020 - Added Sweden ICU(2019) and TOTAL(2018) beds datasets

Purpose of the dataset

I am trying to produce a dataset that will provide a foundation for policymakers to understand the realistic capacity of healthcare providers being able to deal with the spikes in demand for intensive care. As a way to help, I’ve prepared a dataset of beds across countries and states. Work in progress dataset that should and will be updated as more data becomes available and public on weekly basis.

Importance

This dataset is intended to be used as a baseline for understanding the typical bed capacity and coverage globally. This information is critical for understanding the impact of a high utilization event, like COVID-19.

Current challenges

Datasets are scattered across the web and are very hard to normalize, I did my best but help would be much appreciated.

International Interactions 36 (1). 2010.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03050620903554614GoodLands created a significant new data set for GHR and the UISG of important Church information regarding orphanages and sisters around the world as well as healthcare, welfare, and other child care institutions. The data were extracted from the gold standard of Church data, the Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae, published yearly by the Vatican. It is inevitable that raw data sources will contain errors. GoodLands and its partners are not responsible for misinformation within Vatican documents. We encourage error reporting to us at data@good-lands.org or directly to the Vatican.GoodLands worked with the GHR Foundation to map Catholic Healthcare and Welfare around the world using data mined from the Annuarium Statisticum Eccleasiea. GHR supported the data development and GoodLands independently invested in the mapping of information.The workflows and data models developed for this project can be used to map any global, historical country-scale data in a time-series map while accounting for country boundary changes. GoodLands created proprietary software that enables mining the Annuarium Statisticum Eccleasiea (see Software and Program Library at our home page for details).The GHR Foundation supported data extraction and cleaning of this information.GoodLands’ supported the development of maps, infographics, and applications for all healthcare data.
