T
he Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved Press Ganey
to administer the 2016 Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Consum-
er Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems.
"We are committed to supporting outpatient and ambulatory centers na-
tionwide as they deliver more family- and patient-centered care," said Press
Ganey CEO Patrick T. Ryan. "Our comprehensive CAHPS program extends
beyond regulatory requirements and enables providers to actively identify
opportunities to improve performance and reduce patient suffering."
Here are five key notes:
1. e new survey will complement Press Ganey's CAHPS solutions
portfolio, which already serves more than 8,000 organizations in the
United States.
2. Press Ganey will begin the voluntary monthly data collection with the
OAS CAHPS survey in January 2016.
3. e Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality developed the 37
questions included on the survey. e questions are designed to mea-
sure patient experience for hospital-based outpatient surgery and free-
standing ambulatory surgery centers.
4. e questions will cover patient-reported health outcomes in addi-
tion to the patient experience. e questions include CMS-required
questions as well as proprietary ambulatory surgery questions for ad-
ditional insight to better understand the patient perception of care.
5. e data collected can help healthcare organizations identify areas for
performance improvement. n
