All requested data is non-PHI data, and your name will not be linked to the survey responses. You are free to skip any question if you are not comfortable sharing the results. Your participation in the study is voluntary.
The risks associated with this study are minimal and you may benefit from having the opportunity to review and present your own hospital data in an organized manner.
