Becker’s Hospital Review gives Memorial Hospital 5-star rating for nursing, physician communication

CARTHAGE, Ill. — Becker’s Hospital Review recently gave Memorial Hospital a 5-star rating for nursing and physician communication.

Becker’s Hospital Review, a renowned healthcare publication, has placed Memorial Hospital among the top 350 hospitals nationwide for nursing communication and physician communication. The rating is based on survey data collected from hospital patients in 2022.

As a reminder, filling out an HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey is crucial for hospitals aiming to achieve a 5-star rating. Having patients fill out these surveys not only aids the hospital in achieving a 5-star rating but also contributes to a culture of continuous improvement within the hospital.
