CAHPS Resources
The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) program is a public-private initiative to develop standardized surveys of patients' experiences with ambulatory and facility-level care.
CAHPS is widely used to monitor and evaluate the relative performance of managed care health plans and compare managed care plans to fee-for-service health care.
The CAHPS family of survey tools is available by download in English or Spanish from the AHRQ web site. These survey tools are formatted in HTML, Microsoft Word, or Adobe PDF to accommodate most users.
CAHPS In-Center Hemodialysis Survey
The In-Center Hemodialysis Survey asks adults with end-stage renal disease about their experiences with the facility that provides their hemodialysis.
