2. Those hospitals in the top quartile had a 27 percent higher nurse job enjoyment rate.
3. The top-ranked hospitals also held a 22 percent higher CMS Overall Hospital Quality star rating compared to the lowest-ranked hospitals.
4. Press Ganey found the top hospitals possessed a 3 percent higher rate of average “likelihood to recommend” scores.
