Patient Experience Programs
As part of our efforts to deliver the best experience to our patients, Mass General recently launched the icare and "What Matters to You" programs to the Mass General community.
What Are We Measuring?
As part of a survey about their experience at Massachusetts General Hospital, hospital patients are asked the following two questions about the timeliness of assistance from our staff:
- During this hospital stay, after you pressed the call button, how often did you get help as soon as you wanted it?
- How often did you get help in getting to the bathroom or in using a bedpan as soon as you wanted?
This information helps us gauge how responsive our staff members are to patient needs and identify areas for improvement.
How Are We Performing?
Responsiveness of Hospital Staff
Higher scores are better
The composite score indicates the percentage of patients who answered "always" to the questions above.

What Are We Doing to Improve?
Mass General strives to be as responsive as possible to each patient’s individual needs. We continuously work on answering call lights and patient questions as quickly as possible, as well as on anticipating any needs. We regularly monitor our progress.
