AHRQ CAHPS® Research on Enhancing the Efficiency of CAHPS Survey Administration

Enhancing the Efficiency of CAHPS Survey Administration

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s CAHPS researchers are continually working to improve the ability of CAHPS surveys to gather useful and valid information on patient experience as efficiently as possible. Research teams are currently exploring multiple questions, such as:

• What is the feasibility of lower-cost data collection methods?
• What is the impact of revised item content and formats?
• How can we improve consistency across various applications of the surveys and their measures?
