MHQP Announces Winners of 2019 Patient Experience Awards
(December 2019)
MHQP has announced the winners of the 2019 “MHQP Patient Experience Awards.” MHQP introduced this award program last year as a way to recognize the primary care practices that perform highest on its annual Patient Experience Survey, the only statewide survey of patient experience in primary care in Massachusetts.
MHQP received over 60,000 responses to this annual survey of commercially-insured patients across the state. The results were used to identify the top overall performers in adult primary care and pediatrics, as well as the highest performers in nine performance categories:
- Patient-Provider Communications
- Coordinating Patient Care
- How Well Providers Know Their Patients
- Assessment of Patient Behavioral Health Issues
- Ease of Access to Care
- Empowering Patient Self Care
- Office Staff Professional Excellence
- Pediatric Preventative Care
- Assessment of Child Development
Also, this year for the first time, MHQP is recognizing the practices that achieved the greatest improvement in a performance category in the past year.
“Primary care is the heart of healthcare in Massachusetts,” said Barbra Rabson, MHQP’s President and CEO. “The practices from all across the state recognized with this award have distinguished themselves where it matters most – in the experiences of their own patients. We are thrilled to congratulate each of them for their commitment to excellence and best-in-class patient experiences.”
The award recipients were announced and celebrated at MHQP’s joint Board and Council meeting on December 4, 2019. Congratulations to all of the winners listed below:
