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 in achieving a 5-star rating but also contributes to a culture of continuous improvement within the hospital, ensuring that patient experiences and satisfaction remain a priority.
