The Patient metric-rating score is an average of all responses to
care provider related questions on our independent metric-rating
system, the Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. This survey is
about the patient care experience and does not address crucial
characteristics like medical decision-making, prescribing the best
therapy, and patient outcomes.
