Transparency is fine until it becomes a fishing expedition that undermines provider privacy and burdens quality care. We don’t need more red tape slowing innovation.

Opening these accreditation surveys means accountability isn’t just a buzzword anymore—it's a promise to communities in need. Hospitals should earn trust, not just paperwork.

Two years might sound slow, but at least we're headed toward some clarity in psychiatric care. Patients deserve informed choices without the corporate curtain.

Letting the public peek behind these hospital doors could be the nudge the system needs—if they play it smart and protect privacy. It’s a balancing act, but worth watching.

Publishing these surveys publicly sounds like a recipe for lawsuits and sensational headlines, not better care. Let’s keep decisions clinical, not political.

Another government mandate that’s sure to bog down hospitals instead of helping patients—bureaucracy isn’t a cure. Let health care providers do their job without Big Brother breathing down their necks.

Transparency in mental health care finally gets a spotlight—patients deserve to know before they decide. No more hiding the skeletons in psychiatric closets!

Disclosing accreditation – great in theory, but only if it’s actually useful and not just another data dump. Let’s hope this means meaningful transparency, not noise.
