The Home Health industry was introduced to the Home Health CAHPS (HH-CAHPS) process a few years ago as a way of standardizing their patient experience surveys and providing data for public reporting.  After spending the last several episodes talking about the Hospital version of this survey, show hosts Alan, Janette and Valerie turn their attention to HH-CAHPS with a general overview of the process.  Timelines, methodologies, survey dimensions, and public reporting are all discussed in this month's episode.
Show hosts:  Alan Jackson (President/CEO), Janette Jones (Director of Patient Satisfaction), and Valerie Sipe (CAHPS Project Manager) — all with The Jackson Group (www.thejacksongroup.com).

After having spent the last several episodes talking about the Home Health CAHPS instrument, it's time for Alan and Janette to wrap up the discussion by examining the two "key outcome" questions in the survey:  Overall Rating and Recommend to Others.  Alan and Janette discuss how these questions are presented, scored, and how they could pose a problem for smaller, independent home health agencies.  As these two questions are the cumulation of all of the other survey items and experiences, Alan and Janette also discuss the most important best practices concepts to keep in mind when trying to improve scores on these particular items.
