Submission Training
The CAHPS Database has made a 15-minute Web training video presenting step-by-step instructions for submission. This session is available for viewing from the CAHPS Website under the News & Events section at
https://www.cahps.ahrq.gov. We invite all health systems, medical groups, practices, and vendors that administer surveys according to CAHPS specifications and plan to participate in the CAHPS Clinician & Group Database in 2010 to view the Web training video prior to data submission.
Comparative Results Available in April 2011
Comparative results will be presented on the CAHPS Database online reporting system in April 2011. Similar to the existing reporting system for CAHPS Health Plan Survey results, the C&G reporting system will present overall comparisons by region, patient population (adult and child), and by physician specialty categories (if a sufficient number of survey responses are received). A password-protected portal will enable survey users that submit data to view their own results compared to selected benchmarks.
