Survey Design Changes

Adjusted sample to delete non-HCAHPS patients that would continue to be included in Tenet's system; i.e., proxy interviews; non-medical, surgical, or OB patients; interviews conducted in non-HCAHPS approved languages. Unaccepted interviews need to be accounted for at each hospital to ensure we reach the minimum required sample size.
