Fifty-three hospitals made the list of quietest facilities for which 84 percent or more of patients reported that the area around their room was "always" quiet at night on their HCAHPS survey, according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control and Clinical Quality website.
The data tracks surveys from July 2014 through June 2015.
The top six hospitals on the list are:
