Iowa Specialty Hospital-Belmond Receives Award as Top Hospital in Iowa for Patient Experience

Iowa Specialty Hospital-Belmond was recently recognized as a top hospital in Iowa for Outstanding Patient Experience by Becker’s Hospital Review.

The hospital was among 9 hospitals in Iowa chosen for this recognition.

373 hospitals in 46 states were honored for patient experience, representing the top 15% of hospitals in the nation. 

Healthgrades evaluated 3,020 hospitals that submitted at least 100 patient experience surveys to CMS’ Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems between January and December 2024.  Hospitals were evaluated on patient survey data on 10 patient experience measures, and recipients of the outstanding patient experience award earned the highest overall experience scores.

Healthgrades also found three aspects of patient experience that best predict if a patient will recommend a hospital: physician communication, nurse communication and clear communication about care when discharged.
