The Power of Patient Stories for Improving the Patient Experience (Webcast)
Description
This AHRQ webcast provided an overview of the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) Narrative Item sets, and the insights that rigorously elicited and analyzed narratives can provide about patients’ experiences with care that cannot be captured via closed-ended survey questions alone. Speakers explained how patient narratives can help healthcare organizations address challenges and achieve successful quality improvement initiatives.
