TL;DR
Study results can be interpreted as justifying the need to adjust patient satisfaction scores for differences in patient population among health care organizations, however, from a policy perspective, such adjustments may ultimately create a disincentive for health care Organizations to customize their care.
Abstract
Study results can be interpreted as justifying the need to adjust patient satisfaction scores for differences in patient population among health care organizations.
