Abstract
Objective. Patient assessments of care are increasingly being considered an important dimension of quality of care. Few studies have examined the types and extent of problems identified by parents in the care of hospitalized children and whether hospital characteristics are associated with some of these problems. The objective of this study was to describe the quality of pediatric inpatient care as perceived by parents of hospitalized children and test whether hospital characteristics (academic status, market competition, freestanding children’s hospital) are associated with variations in quality.Keywords
