They make their money off of hospital executives wanting to brag about their scores. On the back-end they get enormous discounts from the postal service and paper suppliers. This really is capitalism at its best and healthcare at its worst. My advice - write your own surveys and use the money on real improvements, like cleaner facilities, more staff or better service. This is a no-brainer to me - and my friend who quit there. -- I have heard about the amount of amount of money PG makes off hospitals for these simplified surveys and “consultative services”.
