Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the mean scores of patient satisfaction ratings at acute care hospitals in The State of Maryland to determine if hospitals' characteristics influence inpatient care experience under a global payment model. The study data was obtained from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website and is publicly available. The study design is cross-sectional using secondary datasets. A multivariate analysis of variance was performed to analyze the study's main variables. Two dimensions of patient satisfaction (nurse communication and doctor communication) were analyzed as dependent variables. For hospital characteristics, hospital type (teaching and non-teaching) was considered an influencer of patient communication with nurses and doctors under a global payment model in Maryland. Patients who reported that their doctors "Always" communicated well were the most significant factor (pas compared to patient satisfaction with their communication with nurses. The association between hospital type and patient communication with doctors corroborates that hospital characteristics can significantly influence patient satisfaction. In addition, the results of the study are valuable for hospital managers and policymakers.
