Destrehan, Louisiana: 3 April 2009 – Medical Partners International (MPI) announces the 2009 C.A.R.E.S. Designation© Recipients. C.A.R.E.S. is a structured, people-centered approach to exceeding patient expectations in healthcare organizations. This accomplishment was based on information provided through HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) for the period between January 2007 and December 2007.

The C.A.R.E. S. Designation© is awarded to organizations who have achieved Service Excellence and are in the top one percent (1%) of all healthcare organizations in the United States.

MPI is the leading organization focused primarily on the “Service of Healthcare” around the globe. The MPI International Standards of Service were developed exclusively for healthcare organizations.

What is HCAHPS Survey?
The HCAHPS Survey is a standardized instrument for collecting and measuring patients’ perceptions of their hospital experience. The survey was first designed and developed through a partnership between the Centers for Medicare and medicaid Services (CMS) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The HCAHPS survey is endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF). The HCAHPS survey asks patients questions about their hospital experience and is administered between two days and six weeks after discharge to a random sample of adult patients across medical conditions.
