PREPARE FOR PEDIATRIC HCAHPS
Development is currently under way to create a Pediatric Hospital CAHPS survey. This survey is being designed by the Center of Excellence for Pediatric Quality Measurement (CEPQM) with funding from CMS and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The survey will measure parent or guardian reports of their family’s experience with their child’s inpatient care.
Press Ganey is partnering with CEPQM to offer clients the opportunity to participate in a test of the draft pediatric survey. The data collected during the test will help to inform the final survey tool. The field test is scheduled to begin with November 2012 discharges and continue for at least six months. A final survey is anticipated in 2014.
Earlier this year, Shanna Shulman, MD, presented an overview of CEPQM’s work to develop the Pediatric HCAHPS survey. This webinar is available on demand.
Pediatric HCAHPS builds on the core domains of the HCAHPS instrument for adults with many survey items derived from the existing HCAHPS instrument and adapted for pediatric care. In addition, new questions reflect expanded domains and new domains identified as important through the survey development process.
