Patient Experience Leader Introduces Program to
Help Provider Organizations Prepare for OAS CAHPS
Press Ganey (NYSE:PGND) today announced the launch of its
Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (OAS CAHPS) Early Adopter Program, further
expanding the company’s portfolio of industry-leading CAHPS
solutions. This new program provides outpatient and ambulatory
surgery centers the opportunity to gain experience with OAS CAHPS
measurement, identify improvement opportunities and implement
patient experience initiatives in preparation for the anticipated
requirements.
Starting in 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) plans to begin voluntary monthly data collection
with its OAS CAHPS survey tool. The official OAS CAHPS survey,
certified by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ),
includes 37 questions that assess patient experience measures for
hospital-based outpatient surgery departments or free-standing
ambulatory surgery centers. The Press Ganey Early Adopter Program
survey includes the OAS CAHPS questions as well as proprietary
Press Ganey questions to help providers better understand their
patients’ perceptions of their care experiences.
“Press Ganey is committed to helping clients capture the voice
of the patient across the continuum of care as a path to
improvement and in preparation for future requirements.” said
Patrick T. Ryan, CEO, Press Ganey. “Our experience shows that
organizations that participate in patient experience measurement
programs before they are required tend to outperform those that
don’t, and also sustain that advantage over time.”
Press Ganey partners with more than 22,000 health care
organizations to continuously measure and improve performance and
is the largest CAHPS administrator in the country with more than
8,000 participating organizations. Commitment
