Evaluation of Proposed New Measures for the Hospital CAHPS Survey
Background: Since its 2006 launch, the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey has become the most used hospital patient experience survey, included in public reporting and accountability systems. Responding to emerging evidence of possible gaps in survey content, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services undertook extensive efforts to develop and test new HCAHPS measures. Objectives: Describe the devel…
Updated Adjustment of the HCAHPS Survey for New Modes of Survey Administration and Patient Mix
BACKGROUND: Web-first multimode survey protocols increase Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey response rates and representativeness but may result in different HCAHPS scores because of survey mode effects and selective email address availability. A variable absent from many patient-mix adjustment models that may result in more positive patient experiences is whether the hospital admission was planned; …
Survey Protocols, Response Rates, and Representation of Underserved Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial
In this randomized clinical trial, web-first multimode survey protocols significantly improved the RR and representativeness of patient surveys. The best-performing protocol based on RR and representativeness was web-mail-phone. Web-phone performed well for young and diverse patient populations, and web-mail for older and less diverse patient populations. The US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will allow hospitals to use the web-mail, we…
Mixed Mode Substantially Increases Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Response Rates Relative to Single-Mode Protocols
BACKGROUND: Low response rates (RRs) can affect hospitals' data collection costs for patient experience surveys and value-based purchasing eligibility. Most hospitals use single-mode approaches, even though sequential mixed mode (MM) yields higher RRs and perhaps better patient representativeness. Some hospitals may be reluctant to incur MM's potential additional cost and complexity without knowing how much RRs would increase. OBJECTIVE: The aim …
Trends in HCAHPS Survey Scores, 2008–2019: A Quality Improvement Perspective
BACKGROUND: HCAHPS' 2008 initial public reporting, 2012 inclusion in the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program (HVBP), and 2015 inclusion in Hospital Star Ratings were intended to improve patient experiences. OBJECTIVES: Characterize pre-COVID-19 (2008-2019) trends in hospital consumer assessment of healthcare providers and systems (HCAHPS) scores. RESEARCH DESIGN: Describe HCAHPS score trends overall, by phase: (1) initial public reporting per…
Do Hospital Characteristics Predict Racial-and-Ethnic Disparities in Patient Experience? National Results From the HCAHPS Survey
OBJECTIVE: Assess whether hospital characteristics associated with better patient experiences overall are also associated with smaller racial-and-ethnic disparities in inpatient experience. BACKGROUND: Hospitals that are smaller, non-profit, and serve high proportions of White patients tend to be high-performing overall, but it is not known whether these hospitals also have smaller racial-and-ethnic disparities in care. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used l…
Changes in Patient Experiences of Hospital Care During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Importance It is important to assess how the COVID-19 pandemic was adversely associated with patients’ care experiences. Objective To describe differences in 2020 to 2021 patient experiences from what would have been expected from prepandemic (2018-2019) trends and assess correlates of changes across hospitals. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study compared 2020 to 2021 data with 2018 to 2019 data from 3 900 887 HCAHPS respondents d…
CAHPS Surveys: Valid and Valuable Measures of Patient Experience
A commentary on “Patient‐Satisfaction Surveys on a Scale of 0 to 10: Improving Health Care, or Leading It Astray?,” byAlexandra Junewicz and Stuart J. Youngner in the May‐June 2015 issue
Examining the Role of Patient Experience Surveys in Measuring Health Care Quality
Patient care experience surveys evaluate the degree to which care is patient-centered. This article reviews the literature on the association between patient experiences and other measures of health care quality. Research indicates that better patient care experiences are associated with higher levels of adherence to recommended prevention and treatment processes, better clinical outcomes, better patient safety within hospitals, and less health c…
