AHRQ Releases CAHPS Clinician & Group Survey 3.0

New Version of AHRQ CAHPS Clinician & Group Adult Survey Available

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has released version 3.0 of the CAHPS Clinician & Group (CG-CAHPS) Survey.

Changes include:

• A shortened survey reference period of six rather than 12 months.
• A new Care Coordination composite measure and revised composite measures for Access, Communication, and Patient-Centered Medical Home items.

The Adult Survey 3.0 now has 31 total items rather than 34 as in Version 2.0. Revisions reflect input from survey users and stakeholders, analyses of survey data, and ongoing efforts to improve the consistency of this survey’s implementation across multiple stakeholders, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

The survey is currently available at https://cahps.ahrq.gov/surveys-guidance/cg/instructions/index.html.
