A spokesperson from Injured in Florida has commented:
“Looking at hospital ratings is a good way of gaining insight into a state’s faith in its healthcare system. Having highly rated hospitals that people can trust is crucial for positive patient outcomes.
“When hospitals are rated poorly, it can lead to hesitation in seeking medical care, longer wait times, and increased pressure on healthcare workers.
“The top-ranking states are clearly doing something right, with consistently high ratings across their hospitals. This indicates patients are happy with everything from wait times to quality of care, which is something that every hospital should strive for.”
