The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released the final Hospital CAHPS (HCAHPS) survey instrument.
The intent of the HCAHPS initiative is to provide a standardized survey instrument and data collection methodology for measuring patients’ perspectives on hospital care.
HCAHPS can be viewed as a core set of questions that can be
combined with a broader, customized set of hospital-specific items.
Once HCAHPS is fully implemented its results will be publicly reported on the Hospital Compare website
