Each year, the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) recognizes providers as Patient’s Choice Awardees for their excellence in patient experience. The awardees are selected based on patient responses. 

Qualifying criteria:

All UIHC providers receiving 30 or more completed medical practice surveys in FY24 were eligible. Recognition is based upon five questions within the “Care Provider” section of the survey:

1. Concern showed for your questions or worries
2. Explanations given to you about your problem or condition
3. Efforts to include you in decisions about your care
4. Discussion of any proposed treatment (options, risks, benefits, etc.)
5. Likelihood of your recommending care provider to others
