We are guided by the needs of our patients and their families...

Massachusetts General Hospital's mission statement highlights the hospital’s commitment to listening to the voices of patients and families in the continuous focus on improving care experiences.

Working with staff and leadership throughout Mass General, the Office of Patient Experience facilitates efforts to measure and improve our patients’ and their families’ experience of care.

There are many ways in which Mass General listens to the voices of those it serves. Ongoing surveys following patient visits to the hospital are one important mechanism. To understand inpatient care experiences, Mass General⁠ — and hospitals nationally⁠ — administer a standardized survey called the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS).
