Abstract: The information collected in the national implementation of OAS CAHPS will be used for the following purposes: -To provide a source of information from which selected measures can be publicly reported to beneficiaries to help them make informed decisions for outpatient surgery facility selection; -To aid facilities with their internal quality improvement efforts and external benchmarking with other facilities; and -To provide CMS with information for monitoring and public reporting purposes. For the mode experiment, CMS plans to use information from this mode experiment to determine whether additional mode of administration (i.e. Web data collection) should be included in the current national implementation of OAS CAHPS protocols.

Short Statement: At this time, there are no changes planned for the response time for the survey itself, however, due to the delay in implementing required participation linked to reimbursement, we estimate that the number of hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers that choose to voluntarily participate in 2018 will be reduced. For the Mode Experiment, we project an increase of 3,140 responses and 409 hours (3,140 responses x 0.13 hr/response). For the National Implementation, we project a decrease of -2,177,700 responses and -283,101 hours (-2,177,700 responses x 0.13 hr/response). For Patient Records, we project a decrease of -7,289 responses and -249,611 hours (see section 12). Overall we project a decrease of -2,181,849 responses (3,140 -2,177,700 -7,289) and -532,303 hours (409 -283,101 -249,611).
