DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The proposed study will facilitate improvements in the quality of health care in the U.S. by developing products that are national standards for collecting information about reporting, and evaluating patient experiences with care. Specific project aims are: 1) develop and test ways that organizations can use CAHPS data for quality improvement; 2) evaluate strategies for reporting CAHPS results to consumers, patients, and other audiences; 3) refine existing CAHPS instruments and develop some new targeted surveys; and 4) disseminate and promote the use of CAHPS products. To accomplish the first aim, the existing literature will be reviewed, to inform an evaluation of pay-for-performance initiatives and interventions targeted at improving care delivered by primary care and specialty providers to patients in the commercial and Medicaid sectors. Pursuing the second aim will entail reviewing and summarizing existing research on reporting quality information, assessing consumer needs for such information, evaluating the CAHPS report card compendium and the talking quality website, constructing and testing composite labels for new surveys, testing reports for culturally diverse audiences (including Spanish language) and those with diminished visual capacity, identify effective strategies for reporting quality information, and developing resources to assist sponsors in developing reports. The third objective will be achieved by conducting cognitive interviews, semi-structured interviews and field tests in order to complete development of the persons-with-mobility-impairment survey, the assisted-living survey, and the health information technology survey. In addition, research will be conducted on cultural comparability of survey responses and the use of non-standard survey data collection methods. The fourth aim will require the development of CAHPS products with the SUN contractor and groups critical to the adoption of CAHPS products, presenting information about CAHPS at professional meetings, and publishing articles in the peer reviewed literature. Accomplishing these objectives will advance the AHRQ CAHPS mission of improving health care by ongoing measurement and reporting of patients' experiences with care. The project team is particularly well suited to achieving the aims of the study based on its extensive prior experience and existing working relationships established in earlier CAHPS work.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究将通过开发产品来促进美国医疗保健质量的提高，这些产品是收集报告信息和评估患者护理体验的国家标准。具体的项目目标是：1)开发和测试组织可以使用CAHPS数据进行质量改进的方法；2)评估向消费者、患者和其他受众报告CAHPS结果的策略；3)完善现有CAHPS工具，开发一些新的针对性调查；4)传播和推广CAHPS产品的使用。为了实现第一个目标，将对现有文献进行审查，以便为旨在改善所提供的护理的按绩效付费倡议和干预措施的评估提供信息
