The purpose of AHRQ's Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) program is to advance our scientific understanding of patient experience with health care.
Explore CAHPS surveys and supplemental items designed to capture patient experience with health care services at multiple levels of the delivery system.
The CAHPS database is AHRQ's repository for data from selected CAHPS surveys. The primary purpose of the CAHPS Database is to facilitate comparisons of CAHPS survey results by and among survey users.
Announcements, webcasts, podcasts, presentations and other events about CAHPS surveys and related resources from the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
CAHPS surveys of patient experience help health care organizations use data to identify strengths and weaknesses, determine where they need to improve, and track quality improvement progress over time.
Public reporting is central to the CAHPS program. Learn how to report CAHPS survey results to health care consumers. Read about research on consumer reporting.
