Vanderbilt University Medical Center providers and teams with exceptional patient satisfaction scores have won 14 Top Performer Awards and 273 5-Star Awards in the 2013 Excellence in Healthcare Awards, sponsored by Professional Research Consultants Inc., Vanderbilt’s patient satisfaction surveyor.
PRC conducts surveys of patient attitudes for hundreds of hospitals and health systems.
The company’s annual awards are based on a single survey question asking patients to rate the care they’ve received from a team or an individual provider.
Awards are based on how often respondents gave a rating of excellent on the survey question.
Top Performer Awards go to individuals and teams who score in the 100th percentile within their clinical discipline or service category and 5-Star Awards go to those who score within the 90th to 99th percentiles.
“There can be no greater reward than the satisfaction of our patients for outstanding service,” said C. Wright Pinson, MBA, M.D., deputy vice chancellor for Health Affairs and CEO of the Vanderbilt Health System.
“I want to congratulate our Top Performer and 5-Star Award winning faculty, staff and programs while expressing my appreciation to everyone for these results.”
This year’s awards are based on survey responses from 2012. Not all individuals and groups at VUMC were eligible for awards.
PRC limits eligibility for 5-Star Awards to individuals and groups having 50 or more survey responses over the previous year, and limits eligibility for Top Performer Awards to individuals with 50 or more survey responses and groups with 100 or more responses.
