Psychiatric Hospital Inspection Transparency Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Senator Grassley, Chuck [R-IA]

Introduced

Summary

Creates a new public-reporting framework to boost transparency of psychiatric hospital accreditation surveys. It would expand which hospitals must follow accreditation survey rules, require accreditors to include Form CMS-2567 or a standardized successor, and put psychiatric-hospital survey results on a CMS public site while protecting privacy.

Show full summary
  • Patients and families would get accessible survey findings for psychiatric hospitals on CMS Care Compare to help compare care and safety. Disclosures must not reveal patient or individual provider identities and must follow HIPAA privacy rules.
  • Hospitals and psychiatric hospitals would be added to the scope of accreditation survey rules, with those changes beginning two years after enactment. They would face new requirements tied to the survey form and public posting.
  • National accreditation bodies would have to include Form CMS-2567 or a successor in their surveys and work with the HHS Secretary to develop a standardized successor form to aid consumers and accreditors.
  • The HHS Secretary would decide what survey details are published and how they are formatted and updated on CMS Care Compare, subject to privacy limits.
