Quality Reviews and SPH Analytics Partner to Offer One Integrated Platform for Real-time Patient Experience and Hospital CAHPS Feedback

Empowers health systems to conduct real-time service recovery while fulfilling CMS regulatory mandates

New York, NY, and Alpharetta, GA – Quality Reviews, Inc., the leading real-time patient feedback company, today announced a partnership with SPH Analytics, the leader in healthcare quality and experience analytics, to give health systems the ability to track and analyze patient experience on a real-time, digital platform while also fulfilling their CMS-mandated Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) and other provider CAHPS survey obligations.

“We are excited to work with SPH Analytics to provide the power of real-time patient experience tracking and the ability to administer CMS-regulated Hospital CAHPS surveys on one convenient, integrated, and secure platform,” said Edward Shin, MD, CEO and Co-founder of Quality Reviews. “We look forward to bringing SPH Analytics’ portfolio of top-ranked population health and CAHPS solutions to health systems and hospitals focused on optimal patient experience,” he added. 

As more health systems focus on the need for real-time, actionable patient feedback to enable service recovery and keep a finger on the pulse of patient sentiment, the Quality Reviews – SPH Partnership gives these forward-looking health systems the ability to view and act on real-time feedback alongside their HCAHPS data.

“While performance as measured by HCAHPS continues to be key to provider reimbursement and providers’ strategy to drive their patient satisfaction, there is an inherent delay between the patient’s actual experience and capturing feedback via the Hospital CAHPS program.  As health systems increase their focus on performance improvement, real-time experience tracking becomes a valuable supplemental strategy for them,” said Amy Amick, President and CEO of SPH Analytics. “The needs of our health system clients are evolving, related to understanding patient sentiments during the pandemic and beyond, and we look forward to innovating with Quality Reviews to take patient experience to the next level,” she added.
