Survey Methods
Piedmont Healthcare contracts with Press Ganey Associates, Inc. to conduct unbiased, objective patient experience surveys. These surveys are mailed and emailed to randomly selected patients after their discharge. Patients who elect to participate answer a series of questions rating their experiences on a five-point scale (Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor and Very Poor) in eight categories. The answers are converted to numeric scores based on the scale below:

Very Good = 100
Good = 75
Fair = 50
Poor = 25
Very Poor = 0
