CAHPS Child Hospital Survey Database https://www.ahrq.gov/cahps/cahps-database/child-hcahps-database/index.html CAHPS (Child HCAHPS) Survey Chartbook is a valuable resource for understanding pediatric inpatient experience. The Child HCAHPS Survey asks parents or guardians to report on both their child’s inpatient experiences and their own experience with their child’s inpatient stay, including key aspects of care such as communication, responsiveness, and safety. These insights can help children’s hospitals and pediatric units strengthen their safety culture by integrating patient experience data into quality improvement efforts. Results from the 2025 Child HCAHPS Survey Database include 8,392 responses voluntarily submitted by 39 hospitals. Survey data were collected from January through December 2024. Key highlights include the following: High-scoring measures were Communication Between You and Your Child’s Doctors and Communication Between You and Your Child’s Nurses. Low-scoring measures were Preventing Mistakes and Helping You Report Concerns and Quietness of the Hospital Room. New in 2025: The Child HCAHPS Survey Database added a correlation table (see graphic on right) displaying how each measure relates to the respondent’s rating of the hospital and willingness to recommend the hospital. https://www.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/wysiwyg/cahps/cahps-database/2025-child-hcahps-chartbook.pdf
