Two city hospitals launched Dedicated Education Units (DEUs) in collaboration with a Midwest state university. The culture of excellence created by the academic practice partnership produced an improvement in patient satisfaction scores at both hospitals. Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey scores improved dramatically within one month of DEU launch. This manuscript presents the pre- and post- DEU HCAHPS scores and relates surprising trending with student presence on the units.
