This legislation, known as the Psychiatric Hospital Inspection Transparency Act of 2025, seeks to enhance public access to information from accreditation surveys of hospitals, particularly psychiatric hospitals. It amends the Social Security Act to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to release these survey details, promoting greater transparency in healthcare. The changes are designed to help healthcare consumers make more informed decisions about where to receive care. A core provision mandates that national accreditation bodies include a standardized form, such as Form CMS-2567 or a successor, in their surveys for hospitals and psychiatric hospitals, starting two years after the bill's enactment. The Secretary will collaborate with stakeholders to develop this new standardized form, ensuring it effectively serves both accreditation bodies and consumers. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary to publicly publish appropriate information from certification functions and accreditation surveys for psychiatric hospitals on the Care Compare website. This disclosure, which begins two years post-enactment, must comply with HIPAA privacy regulations , ensuring that patient and individual healthcare provider identities remain protected.
