Register for AHRQ Webcast on New AHRQ CAHPS Child Hospital Survey
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has released a child version of the CAHPS Hospital Survey (Child HCAHPS). This new survey is designed to assess the experiences of pediatric patients and their parents or guardians with inpatient care. Developed by the Center of Excellence for Pediatric Quality Measurement at Boston Children’s Hospital in partnership with AHRQ’s CAHPS Consortium, Child HCAHPS covers most of the topics addressed by the Adult version of the Hospital Survey as well as topics that are particularly relevant to pediatric care.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact the CAHPS User Network at cahps1@westat.com or 1-800-492-9261.
About CAHPS
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) surveys ask consumers about their experiences with health care. The CAHPS program at the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) supports the development and promotion of CAHPS surveys, toolkit materials, and comparative databases, and provides technical assistance to users. Learn more about AHRQ’s CAHPS program at: www.cahps.ahrq.gov.
AHRQ’s CAHPS Database receives data voluntarily submitted by users that have administered either the CAHPS Health Plan Survey or the CAHPS Clinician & Group Survey. The CAHPS Database aggregates the data to facilitate comparisons of CAHPS survey results by users, researchers, and other interested organizations.
