What is CAHPS? Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
Developed by AHRQ to provide customers a standardized survey of 27 questions evaluating their patient experience Results are transparent Can be used for comparisons Help them make a better informed decision *
6
HCAHPS Composite Measures
Composite Questions Responses Communication with Nurses Communication with Doctors Staff Responsiveness Pain Management Communication about Medicines Cleanliness and Quietness Discharge Instructions Always Usually Sometime Never Overall Rating Rating from “0” (Poor) to “9/10” (Excellent) Would you recommend Definitely “Yes” Probably “Yes” No Care Transition (Reported Oct14) Strongly Agree Agree Disagree Strongly Disagree Bold=“Top Box” * *
7
Who Is Surveyed Under CMS Guidelines?
Eligible patients are: Patients discharged from short-term, acute care hospitals Age 18 or over Non-Psychiatric DRG/principal diagnosis at discharge At least one night stay Excluded Patients “No publicity” patients Patients admitted to hospital from Police custody Discharges with a foreign home address Discharges to Hospice/Nursing Home/SNF *
8
HCAHPS Methodology Phone methodology Standardized script
Complex procedures Begin calls at least 48 hours after discharge 1st call made before 42 days after discharge 5 attempts for all randomly selected patients Different times of the day Different days of the week Different weeks Must span over 8 days Last call completed 42 days after 1st attempt Callers can not leave voic *
9
HCAHPS Mix and Mode Adjustments
Before scores are published to the public, HCAHPS scores are also mix and mode adjusted Patient Mix (Determined by patient populations, service line, demographics, etc..) Mode Adjusted by Survey Type (Phone only, mixed, IVR) *
10
HCAHPS Mix and Mode Adjustments (Phone Survey)
HCAHPS Composite Mode Adjustment (Phone) Nursing Communication -4.0% Doctor Communication -1.3% Responsiveness -4.7% Pain Management Communication Medications -3.9% Discharge Information Cleanliness -5.3% Quietness -6.3% Would Recommend -4.4% Overall Rating -2.8% *
11
HCAHPS vs. Patient Satisfaction Scores
Because of the CMS methodologies, patient mix and mode adjustments, HCAHPS scores should correlate, but will not match your internal scores This explains why the HCAHPS national averages are currently at 75% to 80%. Example Composite Score HCAHPS “Top Box” (Mix and Mode Adj) Patient Satisfaction “Overall Average” (No adjustments) Nursing Communication 76% 89%
12
Takeaway Always compare your HCAHPS scores to the rest of the country
(79% may actually be top in the nation!) *

HCAHPS “Top-Box” Scores [Oct ’12 – Sept ’13]
Measure Description NATIONAL AVERAGE Patients who reported that their nurses "Always" communicated well 79% Patients who reported that their doctors "Always" communicated well 82% Patients who reported that they "Always" received help as soon as they wanted 68% Patients who reported that their pain was "Always" well controlled 71% Patients who reported that staff "Always" explained about medicines before giving it to them 64% Patients who reported that their room and bathroom were "Always" clean 73% Patients who reported that the area around their room was "Always" quiet at night 61% Patients who reported that YES, they were given information about what to do during their recovery at home 85% Patients who gave their hospital a rating of 9 or 10 on a scale from 0 (lowest) to 10 (highest) Patients who reported YES, they would definitely recommend the hospital Source: hospitalcompare.hhs.gov [Accessed: 8/28/14]

Life Cycle of a Survey (HCAHPS)
Patient discharged from hospital By end of third week, first week of discharges surveys begin* Hospital assigns DRG and upload to FTP site JLM receives file, scrubs data, survey (5 Calls) (Must span 8 days) COMPLETED

HCAHPS Star Ratings
17
Star Ratings As part of a new initiative to add five-star quality ratings to its Compare Web sites, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will add HCAHPS Star Ratings to the Hospital Compare Web sit Easier for consumers to spotlight excellence in healthcare quality Will be based on the same HCAHPS questions Star ratings for each composite plus new “HCAHPS Summary Star Rating” *
18
Scoring Methodology Star ratings will NOT follow “Top Box” methodology
CMS employs all survey responses in the construction of the HCAHPS Star Ratings Each response assigned a score Scores are calculated, assigned an average and rounded up or down Final scores will be patient mix and mode adjusted *

eMed Survey Reporting Tool
21
eMed Survey Reporting Tool*
Provides snapshot regarding the patient’s experience for: HCAHPS, Home Health, Emergency Department or Outpatient Services Available in real-time upon completion of surveys Able to trend monthly, quarterly or annually Query – Analyze multiple levels of data on demand * JLM Proprietary Database
22
Getting the most out of eMed reporting
Run high level reports to identify trends or areas for improvement Utilize Top Box and Monthly reports to drill down further to discover areas of concern Share information with staff and develop action plans based on findings
23
Story of AnyHospital USA
AnyHospital USA wants to evaluate their HCAHPS scores and see where there is room for improvement Need to run reports and analyze the data on a number of levels Run eMed survey reports to accomplish this CMS HCAHPS National Comparison Data Summary (Trending) Top Box HCAHPS by Area Top Box HCAHPS by Facility (System) Query for further analysis
