Descriptions
The practice uses the standardized survey tool to collect patient experience data and inform its quality improvement activities. The intent is for the practice to administer a survey that can be benchmarked externally and compared across practices. The practice may use standardized tools such as the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) PCMH survey, CAHPS-CG or another standardized survey administered through measurement initiatives providing benchmark analysis external to the practice organization. It may not be a proprietary instrument. The practice must administer the entire approved standardized survey (not sections of the survey) to receive credit.
